About MediHue

At MediHue, we believe that learning doesn’t have to be clinical. We’re a New York-based brand transforming the way nursing students and medical professionals study—through color, creativity, and cognitive science.

MediHue was created by medical professionals who know firsthand how demanding and high-pressure the world of healthcare can be. That’s why we designed a line of innovative, artist-quality colored pencils and uniquely illustrated study tools that blend the calming benefits of art with the rigor of medical education.

Our flagship product is a first-of-its-kind set of colored pencils, each one named after a medical condition or term, and tinted to reflect its vibrant or characteristic presentation within the human body. Paired with our detailed, often delightfully strange illustrations, MediHue offers a hands-on, visually immersive way to reinforce complex concepts, while also promoting mindfulness and stress relief.

Why MediHue™ Works

Grounded in neuroscience, psychology, and the principles of visual learning, MediHue is more than just a coloring book: it’s a study revolution. Our tools are based on well-established learning techniques:

  • Dual Coding Theory: Encoding information both visually and verbally improves memory recall.

  • The Bizarreness Effect: Strange or atypical images are more likely to stick in your brain.

  • Embodied Cognition: The physical act of coloring engages motor memory and deepens learning.

  • Mindfulness and Focus: Coloring improves attention, reduces anxiety, and boosts retention.

In other words: it’s science-backed, nurse-approved, and weirdly unforgettable.

Who We Are

We’re passionate about empowering the next generation of healthcare professionals through smarter, kinder, and more creative ways to learn. MediHue is independently owned and operated by its creators, who bring together expertise in medicine, design, and education.

Our Mission

To empower medical learners through color, creativity, and cognitive science.

At MediHue, our mission is simple: to support future healthcare professionals with tools that inspire, engage, and elevate the learning experience.

We know that nursing and medical education can be overwhelming. Long hours, dense material, and high-pressure expectations leave little space for self-care or creative thinking. That’s why we’ve reimagined studying as something that doesn’t just serve your brain—but also your well-being.

Through innovative, artist-quality resources, we aim to make education:

  • More visual: because color helps you remember

  • More mindful: because calm minds retain more

  • More human: because medicine is both a science and an art.

We’re here to champion neurodivergent learners, visual thinkers, and everyone who benefits from a little more color in their studies… and their lives.

    Danielle DePasquale

    Registered Nurse

    If you’ve ever met Danielle DePasquale, you’d quickly realize she’s not your average nurse—and definitely not your average entrepreneur. Based in Tequesta, Florida, Danielle is an emergency room RN who thrives on the unpredictable nature of acute care. Her passion for patient connection, rapid decision-making, and clinical excellence has shaped her into a go-to presence on the ER floor.

    But here’s where she flips the script: Danielle isn’t just caring for patients—she’s building tools to care for and support the next generation of nurses. With a background that includes leadership in the Student Nurses Association and a former role as Wellness Director at a senior living community, she brings a unique fusion of lifestyle wellness, education, and real-world nursing to everything she does.

    That’s exactly why she founded MediHue—a one-of-a-kind product, offering medically inspired colored pencils designed to make studying less stressful and way more fun. As someone who has a creative mind and a knack for innovation but was never quite the model student, Danielle saw an opportunity to help students retain complex medical information in a more creative, visual way.

    Now on the path to earning her BSN, Danielle’s mission is simple but powerful: to make learning in nursing not just effective, but actually enjoyable. She’s here for the nurse who’s cramming at midnight, the one struggling with pharmacology flashcards, or the student who just needs a splash of color (and encouragement) to push through.

    Danielle isn’t just building a product—she’s creating a movement that blends heart, hustle, and healing.

    Operations & Logistics

    Picture someone managing a warehouse of inventory, sorting out logistics, balancing the books—and still finding time to make everyone laugh. That’s Ben. Based in upstate New York, Ben brings a rare mix of business savvy, academic depth, and warm-hearted humor to the MediHue team.

    With two master’s degrees, Ben has spent his life immersed in learning, teaching, and helping others grow. Over the past 20 years, he has run his own successful online retail business while also working as an educator, trainer, and challenge course facilitator. From leading high ropes and zip line adventures to hosting team-building programs for students, adults, and corporate groups, Ben has always believed in the power of laughter, movement, and meaningful connection—even when it comes to studying.

    Before co-founding MediHue, he also worked as a veterinary technician, where his love of animals and interest in medicine came together. Today, he handles the behind-the-scenes engine of MediHue: operations, finances, legal structure, and fulfillment logistics. If it needs to be organized, tracked, shipped, or fixed—Ben’s got it covered.

    Alongside Danielle and Nick, Ben helps bring MediHue’s mission to life: offering bold, creative tools that make studying less stressful and a whole lot more enjoyable.

    Ben’s mission? To help nursing students study smarter—not harder—and actually enjoy the process. Because learning shouldn’t feel lifeless. And if he can help add a little humor, heart, and high-quality logistics to the journey, he’s all in.

    Artistic Director

    Nick has worn more hats than a Broadway costume closet. While in college working on an Associate’s in Communications and a Bachelor’s in Art, he went from managing a movie theater in his early 20s (and building elaborate lobby displays that could’ve doubled as theme-park attractions) to kicking off his professional life as a photographer for a major TV network. Over the years he has co-founded and helped run four businesses (yes, cereal entrepreneur—he runs on creativity, copious amounts of coffee, and probably Wheaties). 

    As a lifelong creator, Nick has designed everything from jewelry and logos to full-scale sculptures. At MediHue, he is one of the forces behind the visuals: drawing for the coloring book, editing, graphic design, logo creation, and sourcing the tools that bring the brand to life.

    Outside of work, Nick is happiest surrounded by his family, his fur babies, and his friends. He can usually be found building things in his garage, painting, crafting, or strumming a guitar (enthusiasm 10/10, skill level… “developing”). He’s also a voice actor, which means when he’s not designing, he might just be voicing your next audiobook character.

    In short: if it’s creative, quirky, or requires thinking outside the box, Nick’s probably doing it—and having a lot of fun along the way.
