Denise’s artistic journey started at the tender age of 2 when she would draw in all of the books around her house. After acquiring a certificate in Fashion Design from The High School of Fashion Industries, Denise received her BFA in Graphic Design from the Shintaro Akatsu School of Design at the University of Bridgeport. She studied abroad at Hanyang University in South Korea. She then secured a Certificate in Women’s Entrepreneurship from Cornell University.

As an award-winning creative and art director, muralist, and business owner, Denise ‘deLaSNP’ Coke has specialized in graphic design, branding, web design and development, motion design, animation, illustration, UX/UI design, and augmented reality for over a decade. In 2016, she began implementing augmented reality into her original art pieces to combine animation with the traditional art world. As a result of this, she has been featured at The Other Art Fair in Grenada, West Indies, for their 50th Anniversary of Independence and Artivive's AR Summit.

Previously, she was a designer for The Madison Square Garden Company ​, working on various properties from the New York Rockettes to the New York Knicks.
