About me
Heya,
I’m Danielle Adéyínká-Uche (her/they), a London-born, award-winning stage manager, fashionista, and multidisciplinary creative. Of Yoruba-Igbo-Ika descent, I blend the arts, fashion, and culture in my work, with a deep connection to my African heritage. My career spans theatre, entertainment, and fashion, earning me two Olivier Award nominations (winning once) and the opportunity to train + work with industry leaders Sonia Friedman and Kenny Wax.
As a Black queer woman, I champion Black and queer stories, bringing authenticity and advocacy to every project. Known for my bold style and innovative vision, I create impactful productions while curating fashion-forward, lifestyle, and performance-based content. My work is all about empowerment, creative storytelling, and fearless self-expression.
I want to continue to work with great and like-minded people who want to connect and create memorable moments & make great work!
