About

Daniella Manini is a Peruvian-born, California-based artist and graphic artist and textile designer. In her 20 years in the industry, she has had the pleasure of working with a number of pre-eminent brands, including Aaron Chang, Billabong, DC shoes, Prana, Patagonia, Spiritual Gangster, Amuse Society, Vuori, Reef and Volcom.

As a self-taught artist and designer with an educational  background in advertising, Daniella’s portfolio bridges fashion, retail, interior design, youth culture, and media. This attitude transcends scale: you’re just as likely to encounter one of her murals in a retail space halfway around the globe as you are to see her original artwork on a piece of clothing hanging in your closet.  Daniella’s unique take balances whimsy with vintage flair, producing fresh, tongue-in-cheek designs. She draws her main inspiration from her love for the sea, her kids and the environment.

Recent collaborations include a signature artist series collection with Reef, Vuori and the illustration of Captain Liz Clark's Book: Swell. She currently works as a Senior Textile Designer at Patagonia.
