Digital, UI + UX
DESIGNER & DEVELOPER
Hi, I'm Daniel and I partner with companies and individuals to breathe life into their brain children. I place an emphasis on the end user and keep the process user-centered. I believe that design is a tool which is not limited to only "making things bigger or prettier" but to improve functionality and to meet the goals of both the business and the users.
I am a product designer based in the Washington D.C area with a background in Electrical/Computer Engineering and Graphic Design. I've been designing since Myspace was a thing and have been writing code since Xanga was the hottest platform in town. Over the years, I have worked with a wide range of clients ranging from Mom and Pop stores, to start start-ups to Fortune 500 companies. I leveraged various skills during these partnerships from web & product design and development to branding to marketing. Great products are the results of strong collaborations with research, engineering, product teammates, marketing and sales to understand customer problems and circumstances.
I spend my free-time reading books (lately around psychology and business), watching documentaries and movies with inspiring cinematography practices and exploring the world around me. I've been learning and sharpening my skills.
I can be found leading design, development and marketing at Built in Africa.
I also have a community outreach project I run with a couple of friends.
