Danielle Baskin

Since 2009, Danielle has personally designed and painted several thousand customers' helmets. Initially created as a way to camouflage her helmet by painting it to look like the sky, Danielle has since developed hundreds of unique helmet designs. She's an enthusiast of wrap-around images, optical illusions, bikes as transportation, bicycle safety, modifiable objects, and science education that you can wear on your head. She holds a BFA from New York University where she studied Art and Psychology and also has many other artistic practices, including building displays for mobile ads on tricycles (Peddler Pop-Ups), and making virtual reality models of abandoned buildings (Last Chance Tours). She wears mostly one of three helmets: the blue sky (the first helmet), the homunculus diagram, or the M.C. Escher Sphere.
