Jace Daniel
Los Angeles, CA, USAI have over 20 years of professional experience as a Storyteller, Copywriter, Web Producer, Interactive Media Designer, and Graphic Artist. My creative work has been published in a New York Times Bestseller thrice, and I most recently authored a supernatural thriller called Under Angels. I also produced the cover design, layout, collateral, and book trailer. Available in both paperback and ebook editions, Under Angels has hit #7 on Amazon.
I specialize in taking great ideas and putting them into words, visuals, and other forms of expression. I will take a creative vision — be it mine, yours, or ours — and turn it into an engaging story, an effective slogan, a genius tagline, a smart logo, or a powerful advertisement. As a web and blogging veteran, I place great importance on SEO, clean HTML, accessible layouts, and constantly evolving mobile trends. I’ve been part of the social media landscape since it first appeared, and was published in a book produced by Twitter back in 2007. As a Photoshop ninja, I most recently produced comps for mobile applications and websites for Fortune 500 companies.
