We were lucky to catch up with Daniele Regan recently and have shared our conversation below.

Alright, Daniele thanks for taking the time to share your stories and insights with us today. Naming anything – including a business – is so hard. Right? What’s the story behind how you came up with the name of your brand?

Naming a brand or company is like laying the cornerstone of your identity—it’s the foundation upon which everything else is built. For me, it wasn’t just about finding a name that fit—it had to tell a story, spark curiosity, and embody the essence of what I stand for.

I wanted something layered, something that felt personal yet universal. A name that would intrigue clients while staying true to my values. It needed a spark of creativity, a touch of playfulness, and the power to leave a lasting impression.

DANIBYDSGN was born from this vision. A reimagining of “DANI BY DESIGN,” it encapsulates everything I aim to bring to my work—creativity, meaning, and connection—while balancing professionalism with a sense of fun.

<b>The Story Behind the Name:</b>

<b>Dani:</b> A simple, personal touch that invites connection. It’s me—the designer, the visionary, and the hands behind the creations. This human element emphasizes authenticity and reminds clients that every detail matters.

<b>by Dsgn:</b> The phrase reflects intentionality and purpose, grounding the brand in the art of design. The playful twist in the spelling of “Dsgn” brings a creative edge, hinting at the innovation and originality that define my work.

Together, Dani by Dsgn becomes more than a name—it’s a philosophy. It tells clients that they’re an integral part of the process. Their individuality, story, and values are woven into the designs, resulting in something completely unique, something unmistakably theirs.

This name embodies my commitment to crafting designs that are as meaningful as they are beautiful. It’s a celebration of collaboration, purpose, and the power of thoughtful creativity.

Daniele, love having you share your insights with us. Before we ask you more questions, maybe you can take a moment to introduce yourself to our readers who might have missed our earlier conversations?

I’m Dani, the founder and creative force behind **Danibydsgn**. My journey into the world of design began during an unexpected pause in life—the Covid-19 lockdown in June 2020. Like many, I turned to TikTok for inspiration and connection, but what I found was far greater: a platform to channel my passion for visual storytelling. What started as a creative outlet quickly evolved into a purpose-driven career, where I help others express their identities and stories through thoughtful, intentional design.

My services span a variety of creative solutions, including:
– Custom Logo and Branding Packages – Defining identities with clarity and purpose.
– Custom Symbol Design for Personalized Engraved Jewelry – Symbols as unique as the wearer.
– Fingerprint-Inspired Jewelry Designs – Transforming personal imprints into wearable art.
– Business Branding and Logo Creation – Bringing visions to life with compelling aesthetics.
– Tailored Creative Solutions – Custom-crafted designs for each client’s distinct story.

At Danibydsgn, design is more than aesthetics—it’s storytelling. My approach is deeply collaborative, involving clients as co-creators of their visual identities. By weaving their essence into every design, I ensure that the final creation isn’t just beautiful but profoundly meaningful. This philosophy makes my work particularly resonant for tattoo designs, where art becomes a permanent symbol of personal significance.

The relationships I’ve built with clients around the world are the heart of my work. Seeing my designs tattooed globally fills me with immense gratitude and pride. Each shared photo or story reminds me of the trust clients place in me to bring their visions to life.

But what I’m most proud of is staying true to my brand’s integrity in a competitive, fast-moving industry where originality often meets imitation. Through dedication and authenticity, I’ve established Danibydsgn as a global leader in this niche design space—a brand rooted in purpose, creativity, and connection.

Every design I create is a celebration of identity, a piece of art that tells a story, and an opportunity to make something truly unforgettable.

Any insights you can share with us about how you built up your social media presence?

Building a social media presence from scratch can feel like standing at the edge of a vast, empty stage—but it’s also an exciting opportunity to shape your unique voice and connect with an audience. Whether you’re starting with zero followers or looking to grow your reach, these three tips can help you thrive:

1. Show Up Consistently
Think of your posts as seeds—you won’t see results overnight, but with regular care, growth is inevitable. Post consistently, regardless of views or engagement at first. Momentum builds over time, and your audience will begin to expect (and look forward to) your content. Remember, showing up is half the battle.

2. Go Multi-Platform
Don’t put all your eggs in one basket. Start posting across all platforms—TikTok, Instagram, YouTube Shorts, Pinterest, or even LinkedIn, depending on your niche. Each platform caters to a unique audience and has its own strengths. When one takes off, it can naturally funnel followers to your other accounts, creating a web of growth opportunities.

3. Engage Like a Pro
Social media isn’t just about broadcasting; it’s about connecting. Reply to comments, DM your followers, and interact with others in your niche. The more authentic your engagement, the more loyal your community becomes. People want to feel seen and valued, so be the creator who shows up for their audience.

Building your presence is a marathon, not a sprint, but with consistency, strategy, and connection, your social media stage won’t stay empty for long—it’ll be packed with a community that truly resonates with your message.

How’d you think through whether to sell directly on your own site or through a platform like Amazon, Etsy, Cratejoy, etc.

In my experience, when it comes to offering services, less is more—and focusing on a single, streamlined platform can make all the difference. Instead of scattering your services across multiple channels, consolidating them into one hub creates a stronger, more cohesive brand presence.

Here’s why I believe this approach works so well:

– Clarity and Consistency:A single platform ensures your audience knows exactly where to find you and what you offer. It eliminates confusion and reinforces your brand identity at every touchpoint.
– Community Building: By concentrating your efforts, you create a centralized space where clients and followers can engage, share experiences, and feel connected to your brand. A tight-knit community is far more impactful than spreading yourself thin.
– Marketing Power: A streamlined platform naturally becomes a powerful marketing funnel. With all your services in one place, it’s easier to guide potential clients from discovery to purchase without losing them along the way.

This approach not only simplifies your operations but also amplifies your impact—giving you a clear, focused foundation to grow and scale your business.
