Danielle is a curator, writer, broadcaster and lecturer; with a dual focus on contemporary craft and design, and eighteenth-century sculpture and decorative arts.

Currently 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.
