Hey, I'm 👋 Danielle Baranda and I am a writer based in the Philippines.
I finished a degree in journalism from the University of Santo Tomas back in 2018 and am currently pursuing my juris doctor degree. However, I continue to work as a freelance writer and mostly focus on pop culture, politics, news, film reviews, and lifestyle pieces. On top of these, I also have over three years of experience working on niche articles concentrating on real estate and architecture.
I have my own podcast, which I co-host with my best friend, where we talk about films and books. I am also in the process of revising my first novel. When I’m not catching up on my case law, on my spare time I enjoy traveling, film photography, and going to concerts.
I have been freelance writing since late 2018. In terms of editorial pieces, I mostly work on articles regarding pop culture, relationships, politics, and film reviews. I also have extensive experience in terms of content writing and have been contributing for over three years now for several real estate and architecture publications.

A few months after graduation back in 2018, I landed a job as one of the pioneer Content Writers for both Home Builder Digest and GC Magazine. During my nearly three-year stint there working full-time, I worked closely with the editorial staff and came up with the guidelines, stylebooks, and research methods its current team still adheres to today. I shifted to a freelance setup with both publications some time in late 2020 to better accommodate my postgraduate class schedule.
I primarily blog on Medium and contribute to publications like ILLUMINATION, Fanfare, and Hello, Love. I mostly write about pop culture, relationships, and politics.
