About Dan
I’m a designer with over 14 years experience solving complex problems across a diverse set of industries and mediums. Whether architecting digital products or rethinking brand identities, I’m no stranger to hard work. My ability to get up to speed and make impact quickly allows me bring immediate value to any project. I’ve often been brought in on problems that are behind schedule or need to get back on track, exercising my lean design capabilities. Researching, understanding, and synthesizing complex concepts to communicate out to teammates or executive stakeholders is a strength that allows me to leverage and adapt my systems-driven process to any context. With a background in B2B and B2C, web applications, native mobile (iOS/Android) applications, eCommerce, and design systems, I’m ready to tackle any project.

“I found Dan to be able to quickly pickup very complex workflows and be able to simplify them down to their core tasks and then develop an intuitive user interface to both simplify and automate those complex workflows down to a couple of clicks. Dan would be an asset to any organization. I have not only found him to be a very competent UX/UI designer, but also a thought leader in the innovation space.”

Whether navigating complex projects like his work in Linear Programming (an admittedly dense and nuanced project line) or approaching difficult conversations, he brings patience, compassion, and a true spirit of collaboration. He listens actively, thoughtfully compromises, communicates openly, and helps create an environment where every voice feels valued.”
