Home Profile Danielle Rodriguez

Danielle Rodriguez

Danielle Rodriguez is a multidisciplinary designer whose practice spans screen, live performance and events. Having worked in animation and fashion before training in performance design at NIDA, she brings together distinct creative disciplines to explore character, relationships and resilience. These varied experiences have shaped her desire to create purposeful, authentic works with a bold visual style.

Danielle harnesses every creative decision made, while she values curiosity, open communication and collaborative problem-solving, working closely with creative teams and design principles such as texture, proportion and colour to create work with grit and depth informing crews to bring ideas to life in a fun and dynamic way.

Her recent credits include Image of an Unknown Young Woman for NIDA’s Spring Season (Costume, Props and Set Designer), Possessions for NIDA’s Winter Season (Costume Designer), and The Effect for the Festival of Emerging Artists (Costume, Props and Set Designer).

Danielle is proud to have served as NIDA’s Student Council President in 2025, alongside producing and creatively directing her own fashion editorials. She looks forward to collaborating with other artists to develop and produce new work, contributing to the creation of immersive worlds that feel emotionally honest, visually impactful, and fearless.
