Danielle is a curator, writer, lecturer and occasional broadcaster; specialising in the intersections of design and popular culture. She curated the best-selling Barbie: The Exhibition (2024) and Blitz: the club that shaped the 80s (2025), as well as numerous smaller museum displays on craft and visual culture.

Currently Senior Curator at the Design Museum, Danielle was previously Curator of Making at the Museum of London (2017-22), and an assistant curator at the Victoria and Albert Museum (2013-17). Her PhD explored satirical art in eighteenth-century London. Since then, she has gone on to write about a variety of topics which locate objects and images in their wider social and cultural contexts; from erotic prints and political pots, to 3D scanning and funeral monuments.

A BBC New Generation Thinker, and the recipient of an Art Fund New Collecting Award, she is interested in curatorial and writing projects which engage with a diverse audience, making art, craft and history relevant and accessible to all.
