Hey there!
I'm Daniela Norvik - I hold an MS in Design and Merchandising from Colorado State University and a BS in Apparel Merchandising and Product Development from the University of Arkansas, with a minor in Marketing (Entrepreneurship) from the Walton College of Business.
I work as a creative professional with an academic experience in user-centered design, graphic illustration and 3D product staging. My diverse skill set of product design and merchandising has led me to instruct courses at several HigherEd Institutions and consult in various design agencies. Besides teaching and consulting, I have worked on many academic research projects in the past which have allowed me to collaborate with individuals across diverse domains, from fashion and medicine to fire science. In these experiences, I have been been a driving force at every stage of the design and research process.
I firmly believe that diverse perspectives fuel creative problem-solving and design thinking. Using 3D tools as a part of my ideation and creation process enables me to save time and resources while producing high quality work. I believe that the sustainable nature of the 3D world is inspiring and should be implemented in the preproduction and prototyping stages in many industries to eliminate waste. To me, sustainability isn't an alternative – it's the solution in all forms of business.
