Strategic Creative | CREATOR OF Frequency-First™ Leadership & The BEACON Method™
Welcome!
For over 20 years, I was the go-to when product lines stalled, teams lost momentum, or brand direction needed recalibrating.
Across global brands like Nike, Adidas, Pendleton, and Columbia, I led high-impact design initiatives — building scalable systems, repositioning collections, and driving performance through clarity, and collaboration.
‣ At Nike, I developed a core collegiate product line that increased sales 400% YOY and stayed the baseline for over a decade.
‣ At Columbia, I introduced the first global creative direction that was adopted by the global sales team and drove the strategy for the entire year.
‣ At Pendleton, I helped realign the product line with the brand voice — while cutting four months from the go-to-market calendar.
Whether it was a rebrand, a pivot, or a blueprint that needed to scale — I was the call when stakes were high and strategy needed execution.

But what I learned over time was this:
No amount of strategy works when the internal system — the humans doing the work — is misaligned.
That’s why I created The RESET and the Frequency Lab™ — to help leaders and teams recalibrate from the inside out. My approach integrates the principles of Frequency-First™ leadership, nervous system regulation, breathwork, and bioenergetic awareness — paired with deep operational insight, creativity, and strategic precision.
It’s no longer about trading burnout for performance.
It’s about restoring the system — so creativity, clarity, and cohesion … and the aspirational customer can return.
If your team is at a crossroads — whether from growth, burnout, or uncertainty — I’d love to support you.
Because when people are aligned and work in a high-frequency state, sales follow.
“You’ve got a massive fan in me!”
“Daniela brought Backcountry’s first Private Label brand to life from concept to warehouse in under eight months—a massive lift that she led with clarity, creativity, and calm under pressure. She quickly became a trusted partner who understood both brand and business. I’ve been a huge fan ever since.”
“The perfect combination of creativity and business sense.”
“In all my years in the industry, I’d never met a designer quite like Daniela. She brings equal passion for creativity and business strategy—a rare combination that elevates every project she touches. Working with her at RYU and later as partners at Exit21, I saw firsthand how she turns vision into results without ever losing the soul of the work.”
“The Go-To when I need a solution-oriented Design Ally.”
“Daniela is a brilliant designer and true business partner. She brings curiosity, empathy, and deep consumer understanding to every project, creating products that solve real problems and delight customers. Her work at Pendleton left a lasting mark on the brand.”
“Massive Potential.”
“Daniela was one of the most visionary creatives I had the privilege to work with at Nike. She had a rare ability to unite teams around a future-forward creative direction that inspired belief and momentum, even in challenging times. Her leadership and intuition set a new standard for what creative partnership could look like.”

THE Approach:
Strategic Precision Meets Energetic Intelligence
Frequency-First™: A grounded methodology for energy leadership and organizational recalibration.
Frequency-First™ is the foundation behind everything I teach — because performance problems are rarely strategic at the root. They’re energetic.
When a team is operating from burnout, fear, resentment, or chronic stress, no amount of restructuring or vision casting can land.
Frequency-First™ helps identify and regulate the invisible inputs that affect your people’s ability to lead, communicate, and create.
It’s not about “good vibes” — it’s about biological regulation, emotional safety, and conscious, energetic leadership.
This is the missing layer in most leadership development: the energetic and somatic reality of how humans perform under pressure.
When you look at the chart below, what is the current energetic frequency in your org?
The Journey to High Frequency Calibration
Step 1:
The RESET. Teamwide Frequency Recalibration
Entry Point. Immersive. Designed to shift team dynamics fast.
The RESET is a 1 to 2-day, high-impact in-person experience for executive teams, cross-functional departments, or entire organizations experiencing creative stagnation, stress, disconnection, or internal friction.
Using the BEACON Method™, we recalibrate your team’s core frequency — addressing the invisible stress patterns that block momentum. Through teaching and nervous system realignment, we bring the team back into coherence and clarity.
🧭 Primary outcome: Clarity, cohesion, emotional regulation, restored creativity.
Step 2:
Executive 1:1
Leadership Calibration
Deep Support — For Founders, CEOs, and Key Leaders
This is for high-level leaders who understand that their frequency IS the energy of the team or company. Even behind closed doors, your state shapes the system.
In this most powerful container, we work bi-weekly 1:1 at the intersection of frequeny, somatics, energy, and executive presence to clear any internal friction so you can lead from coherence, motivating, and inspiring your team while being present at home, and able to switch off at night.
This is a multi-month commitment.
🧭 Primary outcome: Sustainable personal regulation, executive clarity, renewed leadership presence.
Step 3:
The Frequency Lab™: Ongoing Team Integration – Monthly Teaching + Coaching Labs
Monthly teaching + Coaching labs to maintain alignment. Expand capacity. Lead from a regulated state.
To sustain the impact of the RESET, we offer structured monthly support in the Frequency Lab that blends nervous system regulation with leadership skill development — all through the lens of Frequency-First™.
Each month includes two 60–90 minute virtual sessions:
🔹Call 1: Teaching Module + Frequency Calibration
🔹Call 2: Facilitated Group Coaching + Frequency Calibration
🧭 Primary Outcome: Teams and leaders deepen emotional agility, strengthen communication, and stay grounded in their personal frequency.
