Dane Neslon
I’m a designer, creative strategist, and storyteller with deep roots in Mendocino County and a career shaped by decades of experience across California. I was raised in Redwood Valley, and after years working in theatre, touring rock bands, and the film and music industries from Los Angeles to Oakland, I’ve found my way back home to Ukiah.
Art and business have always found their way into my life—sometimes separately, often together. Now, I get to use everything I’ve learned to support the people and places that shaped me. Illuminate is how I bring those stories full circle: helping local businesses and organizations grow with clarity, creativity, and a strong sense of identity.
