Hi I'm Daniel!

Hi, I'm Daniel!

I'm a system-minded senior UX designer with a business and visual design background. I have 5+ years of experience simplifying complex products into elegant experiences (Component-buying experience, Management platform for large sites) and harnessing emerging technology for good (smart home, ARVR, blockchain).

I went to the University of Michigan-Ann Arbor for a Master's in UX Research & Design. However, before UX, I studied business in undergrad, was an e-commerce marketer, a consultancy design strategist, and a freelance visual designer with 8+ years of experience.
