Creative Director, Designer
Born in Sacramento to a family of advertising professionals, Dane got a jump start in the design business. He launched his career during high school, working first as a production artist for a newspaper, then for a printing company. An up-and-coming Sacramento ad agency hired him as Art Director, where his knack for attention-getting ads paid off for the agency and its clients. Dane also worked as Art Director for several newspapers and magazines, including Sacramento Magazine. In 1979, he took the plunge and started Dane Henas Design, focusing on sales-driven design and advertising.
Over the past two decades, Dane Henas Design has earned a solid reputation as a small, creative firm that knows how to sell. Dane’s advertising work has been published in How, a national graphic design magazine. His logo and stationery designs have been published in American Corporate Identity, a nationally distributed hardcover book showcasing American designers. He has received numerous awards from the Sacramento Advertising Club, The International Association of Business Communicators, and the Sacramento Public Relations Association.
To the delight of friends and colleagues, Dane’s creative talent extends to cooking. Regional Mexican, in particular. An accomplished chef, he has traveled extensively throughout Mexico to learn the nuances of this complex cuisine. He is also an expert in mid-century modern design, and has meticulously restored an Eichler home in South Sacramento. And finally, there’s the music. Thousands of CDs and LPs line the shelves of his home and office: jazz, country, rock, Latin, bluegrass, folk, rockabilly, oddball novelties – the collection is broad and eclectic. Just don’t ask to hear Barry Manilow.
