Bio

Hi, I'm Daniel Wang, a design industry veteran with over 10 years of experience and a passion for empowering the next generation of creative talent.

Throughout my career, I've had the privilege of mentoring more than 200 students and junior designers across North America, Australia, New Zealand, and China. Since 2021, I've been on an entrepreneurial journey focused on design and marketing coaching, helping aspiring designers navigate one of the most challenging phases of their careers.

I understand the struggle. Breaking into the design industry as a graduate in New Zealand – or anywhere – is tough. Limited practical experience, a rapidly evolving industry, and intense competition can feel overwhelming. That's exactly why I'm here.

I'm passionate about helping you:

  • Discover and pursue your true design passion
  • Channel your ambition into actionable career strategies
  • Build a clear, strategic career path in design
  • Develop a compelling personal brand that sets you apart
  • (For freelancers) Identify and leverage your unique strengths to stand out quickly
  • Analyze industries and opportunities to find your perfect fit

Whether you're a student exploring your options, a graduate seeking your first role, or a freelancer ready to level up – I'm here to guide you through it.

Daniel’s work sits at the intersection of technology, career strategy, and human growth.

This philosophy shapes BRIGENAI’s mission to empower people to build careers that support both their livelihood and their life.

Currently focused on Australia and New Zealand, Daniel is leading BRIGENAI’s expansion into Singapore and North America, while also developing B2B talent-matching solutions and mentorship-driven career pathways.
