Dana Schleuning

Hi, I’m Dana!

I’m a brand designer, art director, and visual storyteller with more than 15 years of experience helping brands communicate with clarity, personality, and purpose.

Over the years, I’ve had the opportunity to create work for companies like Disney, Google, AppleTV, and Moving Picture Institute developing everything from brand identities and marketing campaigns to motion graphics and digital experiences. Whether I’m building a visual identity from the ground up or refining an established brand, I’m most inspired by creating work that feels thoughtful, timeless, and deeply human.

My approach combines strategic thinking with curiosity and craftsmanship. I love exploring typography, illustration, photography, and visual systems to create cohesive brand experiences that resonate across every touchpoint.

Alongside my client work, I founded Sundust Bliss, a lifestyle brand inspired by gratitude, creativity, and intentional living. Building my own brand has given me a deeper appreciation for the entire creative process—from defining a visual identity and designing products to shaping customer experiences and growing a business with intention.

At the heart of everything I create is the belief that good design isn’t just beautiful—it tells a story, builds trust, and creates meaningful connections.

When I’m not designing, you’ll usually find me trail running with my dog Pablo, making art with my daughters, experimenting with typography, or creating wonderfully ridiculous sock monsters.
