Dani's approach is direct, solution oriented, thoughtful, transparent, and humorous. Dani is not for everyone, which is why DCAP MEDIA clients tend to be forward-thinking outliers who prioritize strategic experimentation.

That is where Dani thrives; at points of transition, where they can help organizations scale in impactful ways. 

Prior to launching DCAP MEDIA, Dani was a digital and  broadcast producer with MTV Networks, Current TV, and Al Jazeera  America in New York City, San Francisco, and Los Angeles. Their writing and reporting has been featured  by Entertainment Tonight, New York Magazine, Autostraddle, and other publications.

Today, Dani works on transformative projects from DCAP MEDIA headquarters in New Orleans, the birthplace of trend-setting culture and rebellion in the United States.

They are a noted speaker and guest lecturer who is passionate about technology as a catalyst for innovation and social change.
