Contributor | Urban List
Danielle is a gallery-loving traveller who’s on endless pursuit of goosebumps at gigs. With a decade’s experience in copywriting, editing, marketing, and a background in psychology, she’s worked with brands across Australia, Europe and USA to shine a light on their personality and captivate their fans through rewilding words.
Danielle began writing for Urban List Gold Coast in 2017 after moving up from the Northern Rivers and living her eight-year-old self’s pipe dream. Ever since, she’s hunted down lesser known eateries, lurked in dive bars and attended festivals in the name of research.
When she’s not rounding up the best things to eat, drink and do across the Gold Coast, updating contributor articles or optimising content, you can find Danielle at a ramen joint dreaming up her next business, checking out the latest street exhibition or somewhere in the crowd at a local gig.
