Dani Oura Brightstar

Dani's mission: Help creators of all ages bring their wildest dreams to life through pictures and words. From her earliest memories, Dani has been fascinated by the way stories can take you to new worlds, introduce unforgettable heroes, and spark epic adventures. Dani grew up gazing at the stars, wondering what lay beyond the edges of the universe - and the edges of her imagination. As a kid, she filled sketchbooks with doodles of alien landscapes, superheroes with extraordinary powers, and quirky characters that seemed to leap off the page. But Dani wasn’t always confident in her creativity. In middle school, Dani’s love for drawing and writing was nearly eclipsed by doubts and fears. Could her ideas ever be good enough? Then one day, she stumbled upon an old comic book at a second-hand store, its cover bursting with color and action. Inside, she found a hidden note from the artist: “Every hero starts with one small step. Keep drawing, keep dreaming, and the world will follow.” Those words lit a fire in Dani’s heart. She realized that every great creator - from comic artists to graphic novelists - begins with curiosity, practice, and a story they believe in. From that moment on, Dani vowed to embrace her creative spark and share it with others.
