Daniel Malarkey is a curator and advisor whose practice combines narrative construction with a focus on cultural legacy. Approaching his work with the vision of a filmmaker, he builds compelling stories through collections—bringing together works that speak to contemporary relevance while carrying the weight of enduring iconicity.

When developing his brand identity and digital presence, the opportunity was to create a platform that reflected not only his curatorial precision but also his narrative ambition. The identity needed to balance discretion with authority, presenting Malarkey as both a trusted advisor and a visionary voice, while the website became a stage to showcase his exhibitions, writings, and advisory work in a way that felt timeless yet contemporary.

The process carried its own challenges: How to translate the subtlety of curatorial practice into a visual and digital language? How to highlight exhibitions and projects without overwhelming with detail? And how to balance the dual role of advisor and storyteller—serving both private clients and the wider cultural field.

Visually, the brand leaned into cinematic restraint: a design language defined by clarity, contrast, and refined minimalism. Typographic hierarchy and editorial layouts were used to echo the rhythm of narrative construction, while the digital experience foregrounded imagery and text as equal forces—allowing exhibitions and advisory work to unfold with nuance and depth.

The result is a brand and web presence that positions Daniel Malarkey as more than a curator or advisor: as a narrator of cultural memory, shaping collections into lasting stories that bridge past, present, and future.
