Founder/CEO/ Chief Creative Officer - Studio Kula Creator/ Executive Producer- Community, Serve Us
danielle@studiokulamedia.com
Danielle Busko
Looking back, it’s clear that I was always destined to create Community, Serve Us. Every experience and interaction along my journey has been shaping my view of the world, opening my heart and mind to the perspectives and needs of others', introducing me to potential new solutions and driving me towards this vision - curating a dynamic, revolutionary, living platform fostering collaboration, inclusion, and collective impact...designed to be a community of change, a place for everyone.
My professional journey has taken many forms—competitive dance instructor, advocate for at-risk youth, public defender investigator, and media innovator—but throughout, my commitment to community and creative problem-solving has been unwavering, especially for marginalized populations.
Earning an undergraduate degree with concentrations in Psychology & Applied Conflict Management, I launched the first mediation program completing an internship for the Family Courts of Trumbull County. At the same time, I worked overnight shifts at a local domestic violence shelter and hotline as the first line of contact for individuals in immediate crisis and women/children coming into the shelter.
At Bellefaire JCB, where I worked with emotionally & behaviorally disordered youth and survivors of abuse in the intensive treatment unit, I pioneered therapeutic approaches—authoring bibliotherapy and cinematherapy. These techniques combined literature, art, and music to break down walls, engaging youth in-crisis that traditional methods could not.
Later, the City of Struthers and Struthers City Schools sought my leadership to develop and run their Juvenile Diversion Program—serving youth at risk of expulsion or facing their first misdemeanor charges. It was here where I first witnessed how communities can organize together to create great change. The program not only significantly reduced recidivism but also improved educational outcomes through a deeply collaborative model that engaged parents, educators, law enforcement, and community partners alike.
After earning my Master’s in Forensic Psychology, I expanded my work with justice-impacted individuals—serving as a LA County Public Defender Investigator and conducting violence risk and threat assessments in the private sector. These roles further deepened my understanding of how systemic barriers affect vulnerable populations.
A major turning point came when I pivoted into media. From helping launch Entertainment Tonight Live to working with Hulu/Disney, I saw firsthand the transformative power of storytelling. I recognized how media—when used with purpose—can shift narratives and move people to action. This underscored the need for a platform that addresses humanitarian crises in the ways all the others are missing: one that is nonpartisan, tells all sides of the story, is immersive, inclusive, and is rooted in community voice and collaborative problem-solving.
That vision became Community, Serve Us—and the engine behind it, Studio Kula. Together, they are the culmination of a life lived in service, creativity, resilience, and deep connection (Kula) with those who have been part of my journey.
As I continue to walk this path of purpose—dedicated to lifting others up and building systems that bring real change, from the inside out, I have also become a Certified Spiritual & Life Coach.

Advisory Board
Meet our Esteemed Advisory Board Members.
Joe Davila
Joe Davila teamed up with Danielle while she was a client at Disney/Hulu. It became clear that our mutual interests extended far beyond solving client challenges, both possessing hearts to serve others and solve humanitarian challenges in our own communities.
The hallmark of Joe’s career has been in the application of emerging technologies to solve problems. Homestead Technologies was among the first to give everyday people the power to easily build their own web site in the earliest days of web use, enabling a global reach. And while at Homestead, Joe developed the Home Stretch internship program to uplift East Palo Alto youth to pursue opportunities in business not typically available to them.
After starting Optimum Solutions, an Oracle and PeopleSoft consultancy, Joe was also a leader in youth ministry with Young Life for mid-peninsula teens, bringing together young people from polarized ends of the socioeconomic spectrum.
Following KPMG’s acquisition of Optimum, Joe continued his outreach as the Seattle Chair of both the KPMG Hispanic & Latino ERG Network and Seattle ALPFA (Assoc of Latino Professionals for America) and serves/has served as advisor on the boards of Seattle ALFPA, ZenLedger, Youth Focus, and Seattle Credit Union which serves the underbanked population of Seattle.
Joe’s local involvement also includes fundraising for the Leukemia Society, St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, National MS Society, and Seattle Boys & Girls Club. Community, Serve Us is a natural extension of what drives Joe in his deep-rooted belief that while we can’t individually change the whole world, when we come together collaboratively, we can absolutely change the world around us and those we touch.
