Hi there
My name's Dan and I'm a UX designer that believes that human-centered design creates meaningful experiences.
Guided by compassion, I design strategies, services, and experiences that enrich people's lives. While I approach problem-solving strategically, I shine when collaborating with others who share the same passion of storytelling.
I'm a natural empathizer and leader. My extensive customer service background has harnessed my ability to identify people’s frustrations, allowing me to turn the harshest criticisms into an opportunity to learn. I lean on my visual arts degree to create design solutions that are user centric. I bring a cool, calm head to any team environment and I thrive under pressure.

Creativity is intelligence having fun
A lot of my down time consist of me putting energy into my creative hobbies such as cooking, doing pottery, singing, and building Legos. To the left is me singing 'I Love Paris' at my friend's summer soirée. Below is me with my Lego friend.
Youth Empowerment
I work with youth on my time off. The goal is mentor, coach, and empower kids in my local area to feel seen, supported, and inspired to achieve whatever they want in life despite their circumstances. This is a photo of me at their middle school orchestra concert.
It's about the youth
I also work with youth on my time off. The goal is mentor, coach, and empower kids in my local area to feel seen, supported, and inspired to achieve whatever they want in life despite their circumstances. This is a photo of me at their middle school orchestra concert.
Bob n' weave
Lifting weights isn't my thing. To stay fit, I do martial arts instead. I've been competing in various martial arts since the age of 7. I got pretty into it and decided to compete collegiately for a few years until some injuries. Although I don't compete anymore, I practice Muay Thai and boxing for fun. This is a photo of me and my Taekwondo masters when I received my black belt.
