A professional and artistic journey spanning 1990 to 2026, presented through defining periods and significant milestones.
A lifelong painter, Danielle developed an artistic world shaped by color, light, movement, and emotion. Alongside her painting practice, she acquired multidisciplinary expertise in professional makeup: high definition, airbrush, complexion analysis, morphopsychology, fantasy and body makeup, as well as special effects.
She founded and directed Studio Airbrush and Backstage, presented as Canada’s first airbrush makeup school for backstage artists and on-set makeup professionals.
Danielle shared her knowledge of cosmetology, nutrition, and aromatherapy at the prestigious Édith Serei school. This experience marked an important stage in her career as an educator and confirmed a calling that would remain with her throughout her career: transforming expertise into accessible knowledge.
Her expertise in beauty, image, and professional makeup also led her to work for two major French fashion houses: Chanel and Yves Saint Laurent. These collaborations placed her career at the intersection of artistic creativity, luxury, and exacting professional standards.
Her interest in essential oils took institutional form when Danielle founded the Quebec Aromatherapy Association, delivered lectures, and taught at recognized institutions.
Danielle presented a series of lectures at Écosphère, where she shared her vision of aromatherapy, eco-cosmetics, and more responsible beauty. These events allowed her to raise public awareness while bringing health, the environment, knowledge, and innovation into conversation.

She published several works devoted to essential oils, aromatherapy, and beauty. The 2018 portfolio features five books and twenty-four e-books, including titles published by Éditions Québecor and distributed in both Quebec and Europe.
Her expertise extended to advertising, magazines, and Montreal film sets. She developed concepts for Student Body, Les Débrouillards and Argonautes, and supervised teams connected with productions such as 300, The Mummy 3, The Punisher, Death Race and X-Men.
As head makeup artist for major Quebec magazines, she worked with personalities such as Céline Dion, Nanette Workman, Isabelle Boulay, and Gregory Charles. Her career also includes a Gala des Jutra nomination for Best Makeup Artist.
Danielle developed HD makeup techniques adapted to thanatology. Her approach aims to restore a natural, peaceful appearance to the deceased while supporting families through a profoundly human moment.
In Quebec, she taught her innovative techniques to professionals from numerous funeral homes.
Danielle began creating the online Academy Danielle Huard to make her resources, insights, and methods accessible beyond borders.
Danielle created Académie Zéro Techno to help artists, authors, and entrepreneurs use technology simply and confidently. Through accessible, practical training, she teaches them to build their visibility, present their work professionally, and become more independent with digital tools.
Danielle founded INAD Gallery, an online gallery where she presents her work under the artist name Inad Drauh. This world brings together painting, alcohol ink, airbrush, photography, and creations inspired by Canadian landscapes, Mediterranean light, and the ocean. The gallery also became a meeting place for artists, their stories, and collectors.
Drawing on her experience as an artist, educator, and entrepreneur, Danielle developed practical training to help artists build a professional, distinctive, and memorable presence. Her approach teaches them to reveal the emotion within their work, tell the story of their journey, and create a genuine connection with their audience.
Her training programs for artists cover every essential step: building a strong image; writing a script and presenting confidently with a teleprompter or voice-over; creating and editing a video with simple tools; publishing professionally on a website, in emails, and on social media; and then turning that visibility into sales through a presentation page and sales funnel.
Danielle also teaches artists how to define the purpose of their videos, present their artistic practice, create an effective presentation page, and transform the story of an artwork into professional content. This method carries the emotion beyond an exhibition and helps collectors understand, feel, and acquire the work more easily.
