About Daniel
I have spent over 15 years doing one thing: turning complex ideas into stories that actually land.
Three master's degrees — Philosophy, Jewish Studies, Literary Creation — plus a PhD in progress and diplomas in programming. Not because I collect credentials, but because I am genuinely obsessed with how ideas work and how stories carry them.
I have taught in private high schools in Mexico City, universities in Ireland, government institutions, and international online platforms. Different cultures, different contexts, same result — people leaving with clarity they didn't have when they walked in.
Professionally I have built content and courses for companies that needed their ideas to make sense to real humans. And on my own time I write science fiction, fantasy, and philosophical essays — because the best way to understand storytelling is to never stop doing it.
So if you have an idea that feels bigger than you know how to handle — a novel, a brand, a project, a story you've been carrying for years — that's exactly where I work best.

My approach
Every session starts with one question: what's the story you're trying to tell? From there, I use narrative development techniques drawn from philosophy, classical storytelling structure, and years of experience crafting stories across different formats. I don't teach theory for the sake of it — everything we work on connects directly to your project.
How I teach
Sessions are conversational and hands-on. I ask the right questions to unblock what's already in your head, then we build structure around it together. No lectures, no generic formulas — just focused work on your specific story.
Session length
Each session runs 60 minutes. That's enough time to go deep on one problem, one chapter, one idea — and leave with a clear next step.
My background
I'm a philosopher and expert storyteller with experience developing narratives across fiction, personal branding, and entrepreneurial projects. My background in philosophy gives me a unique edge — I understand how ideas are structured, argued, and communicated, which is the foundation of any powerful story.
Who is this for
These sessions are for beginner and intermediate writers, novelists, entrepreneurs, and creatives who have an idea but don't know how to shape it into a story. No prior writing experience needed — just bring your idea, even if it's incomplete.
