Danny Palmer is a creative + art director, designer, and producer with over 20 years of industry, advertising, and content experience. He spends way too much time thinking about and falling in love with niche culture, exploring both nature and cities, and making things.
He tries to put his writing and political science degrees to good use.
In his off time, he is an educator, mentor, community builder, commercial advertising acting instructor, and mental health advocate.
Originally from California, Danny works globally, but you'll typically find him humming about Portland, Los Angeles, and New York.
Lost n' Portland Podcast
I sit down with Chris Franklin from the Lost ‘n Portland podcast to talk about leaving (and coming back to) the advertising industry, creative intent, and the journey of making things in Portland. (And sorry, Malcolm Gladwell, for giving credit to Malcolm McDowell. But let’s face it, you’re both great.)
