Dana Gaertner

Hi, I’m Dana! I’m the founder and creative voice behind DG Creative, a Denver-based studio focused on brand design and photography. My work sits at the intersection of strategy and storytelling, helping brands communicate who they are through intentional visuals.

With a background in design and visual communication and years of experience working in-house with product and lifestyle brands, I bring a hands-on approach to every project, from concept to final delivery. 

I thrive on out-of-the-box ideas, collaboration, and keeping the creative process thoughtful, intentional, and fun.

When I’m not working on brand and marketing projects, I work on black and white film photography projects in and out of the darkroom and spending time in the air practicing aerial silks.
