Hey there!
I’m an Associate Creative Director with a copywriting background and 15+ years of experience creating work for some of the world’s biggest brands. Along the way, I’ve picked up awards at some of the industry’s biggest festivals, including a Cannes Lions Grand Prix.
I’m also a lifelong sports addict and a former volleyball player, whose promising career was cut short by a severe lack of height.
These days, I split my time between building ideas and attending tea parties hosted by my daughter, where I compete with Moana characters and the Seven Dwarfs for a limited number of invisible teacups.
When I’m not doing that, I’m probably overthinking something or trying to create work that people might actually care about.
So far, it’s been a pretty good life.
Feel free to reach out at danielkneme@gmail.com. I'll get back to you as soon as the tea party is over.
