DDDaniel is my illustration playground, created by me, Daniel Daringer, a graphic designer, art director, and illustrator based in Austria with seven years of experience in the creative field. After years of clean grids and polite minimalism, I shifted my focus toward bold, colourful illustration as a response to the current sea of sameness. My work embraces character, emotion, and visual energy, grounded in strong strategic thinking and real-world design experience.

​

After completing dedicated illustration courses and a master’s degree, I am stepping into this phase with clarity and confidence, not as a beginner, but as an illustrator who understands creative realities. Inspired by video games, animated TV shows, nostalgia, Austrian heritage, and horror films, my illustrations balance playful visuals with an unexpected edge. The result is expressive, purposeful work that helps brands and projects stand out and stay memorable.
