Background

About Danielle Crooks

I'm a Pennsylvania graphic designer, editor, writer, photographer, and artist working in multiple mediums, including colored pencils, charcoals & pastels, acrylic paints, watercolors, and digital. With almost a decade of experience as an editor, writer, and graphic designer, I bring a unique blend of creativity, technical skill, and storytelling ability. Throughout my career, I've delivered polished, engaging content across a wide range of media. My editorial experience has honed my eye for detail, voice, and clarity, allowing me to craft compelling narratives and ensure brand consistency. As a writer, I’ve developed everything from feature articles and marketing copy to educational materials and digital campaigns—always with a focus on audience engagement and clarity. My background in graphic design complements this work, enabling me to not only conceptualize but also visually execute ideas in ways that resonate. Collaboration and adaptability are at the heart of my process. Whether leading a creative team or working independently under tight deadlines, I take pride in managing projects from concept to completion with efficiency and care. I thrive in environments that value both creative freedom and strategic thinking, and I’m always eager to bring fresh perspectives to the table. My artwork has been featured at the Westmoreland Art Nationals, Fusion Art’s Black & White Exhibition, Morgantown Art Association, Blue Space Gallery’s Emerging Artists Exhibition, MAA’s Art at the Airport, Waynesburg University’s Benedum Gallery, Morgantown Art Party, and Southern Alleghenies Museum of Art (Ligonier). “My mind is a raging torrent, flooded with rivulets of thought cascading into a waterfall of creative alternatives." Or something like that.
