After working for various architecture firms in Portland, Oregon, Daniel traveled far to the east-all the way to Tokyo, Japan where he now works as an English teacher and an Illustrator. He fancies himself an “imaginary architect” and designs fantastic cities and buildings for animals to live and work and play in, just like his character, Mr. Elephant does. And just like Mr. Elephant, Daniel sometimes feels a bit clumsy and big and forgetful...Fortunately, he always feels at home with his wife and two young children.
