Daniel Brokstad is a graphic designer & illustrator from Norway.

Currently living in New York, where he is working as independent Designer / Creative Director at Brokstad.studio

After graduating at RMIT University in Australia (2010) and working for agencies in Norway for a few years (2011–2013), he packed his bag and went traveling the world while freelancing. Eventually he ended up in NYC at Sagmeister & Walsh (2015–2019). In 2020 he launched BROKSTAD, a virtual design studio and collaboration initiative. Always eager to get better at what he does, learning more and find new ways to create design. If he’s not in New York, he can often be found in different corners of the world.
