Danni B is a Melbourne-based Live Illustrator with a passion for connecting through creativity.

Throughout her 20 year Design & Illustration career, Danni has explored many wild and wonderful pathways.

These diverse experiences sparked the beginning of Live Sketch by Danni B and her love of amplifying events with artwork. Danni studied Illustration & Design at Melbourne Polytechnic specialising in Traditional & Digital Illustration, Commercial Illustration, Concept Design, Fashion Illustration, Live Drawing, Printing, Painting, and Portraiture.

Her professional career commenced in 2002 as a Children’s Toy Designer for local and international toy companies - a vocation she still pursues and adores. Across time Danni explored work as a Voice-Over Artist, Primary School Art Assistant, and Storybook Illustrator.
