Live illustration for events, workshops
When almost anything is readily available at the click of a button, there’s something so special about seeing art come to life before your eyes, or having the opportunity to get crafty yourself.
I offer a range of in-person experiences for businesses that want to offer something extra special for their customers.
Live illustration for retail and events
Take your customer experience up a level and delight your guests with the opportunity to have their purchase or gift personalised while they watch. A hand-lettered name, short message or illustration goes a long way to making a gift feel extra special, and gives people a reason to spend a little longer in your store or event. Live illustration is perfect for:
Gifting occasions where customers are looking for something personal.
Creating a focal point for product launches, seasonal events, and pop-ups.
Increasing dwell time and encouraging purchase decisions.
Giving your customer a lasting reminder of their visit.
Mini Case Study
Helping customers get ready for Christmas
Having just opened in time for the Christmas rush, Haus of Palette hosted a Sip & Shop event, inviting the local community to enjoy a festive drink while discovering their gorgeous selection of gifts, homewares and furniture. I was invited to set up a Personalisation Station, where customers could buy gift tags and baubles to be illustrated and customised with their chosen name or message while they waited.
“As a new business, her contribution to our first Sip & Shop event helped us sell over 40 tickets and attracted new customers, some of whom are now loyal returning customers. Beyond her talent as an illustrator, Danielle brings flexibility, precision and real composure under pressure (even during long queues for her work).”
– Emily Simpson, Haus of Palette
Why choose me for your live illustration event?
I'll take time before the event to understand your brand and what you're hoping to achieve, so that I can bring your ideas to life with the right style, colours and materials. On the day, I will work efficiently and calmly, while delivering creative work to a high standard that will delight your customers.
How workshops help build community
From brush lettering to wine painting, bauble decorating, vision boarding and so much more… I offer a range of creative workshops for retailers and venues looking to build community through in-person events.
People are craving accessible ways to unplug, relax and get creative away from their screens. I’ll support your guests to create something they feel proud of, but it’s not just about the end result. It’s as much about having a go and doing something different for a couple of hours, and the easy chats that start flowing once you get in the zone.
“What a fantastic evening we had. I really enjoyed your picture frame painting session, and with Emily the lovely host and Danelle the amazing teacher and illustrator. It was perfect, thank you!”
