Telling stories with an emotional twist, whether it be humour or a lump in the throat, Dana's body of work strives to move its audience.

He is one of the four founding partners of Axis, and in the past sixteen years has worked with clients such as Disney, BBC, Warner Brothers, Sega, Sony, and Microsoft, winning two BAFTAs along the way.

He grew up in New Jersey, but hey no one's perfect.
