Daniela is highly regarded in both media and beauty and wellness industries for her extensive knowledge of all things beauty. She has strategic vision, and is skilled in specialised content.
She quips that in her career, besides editorial, she has written on everything from food (both human and canine) to software pitches.
But her enduring passion is communicating about beauty, health and wellness. She believes these are indivisible.
Daniela began her career as a writer and editor in consumer lifestyle magazines such as FAIRLADY, Men’s Health, Shape, Psychologies, Real Simple and Emirates Women.
She was also a long-standing contributor to custom titles, including Edgars Club and Clicks Club Card magazine.
Throughout her career, Daniela’s specialist writing and beauty knowledge skills have also been sought after. Brands such as Environ, Estée Lauder, Revlon, L’Oréal, Bioderma and other prestigious companies commissioned her to manage special projects.
Daniela founded Ink! Communications as a result of this burgeoning demand, in order to separate editorial and corporate work.
Her client offering grew to include public relations, social media and digital marketing and strategy.
Her foray into the digital world began over a decade ago.
In this time, she has managed social media platforms for Foschini, run the local websites and social media platforms for global brands such as Bioderma, Max Factor, Sally Hansen, among others.
She was brought on board as beauty strategist for various e-commerce sites.
She continues to create (for herself and others) and contribute to specialist websites and blogs.
When not working, you’ll find Daniela nose-deep in a good book, studying/watching webinars, coffee and cat(s) at her side. Unless she’s involved in community projects, of course.

The octopus is our icon because it is creative and adaptable, with the ability to implement intelligent problem solving. It has multiple arms that work both independently and together. And, of course, it produces ink.
