👋

I help teams design and ship complex products, from zero to scale.

I’m a product design leader and educator focused on clarity, experimentation, and fast iteration. I blend product strategy, UX, UI, and front-end fluency to turn ideas into validated, high-impact products used by over 125M people worldwide.

I also teach and mentor designers, helping them grow with confidence and an AI-first mindset. Over the past 20 years, I’ve designed and shipped dozens of products across finance, education, healthcare, SaaS, and consumer platforms.

You can find more of my work at Big Nerd Design.

“I’ve been lucky to have Dan as a mentor from the very start of my career, and he’s supported my growth every step of the way. From teaching me the basics to helping me navigate more complex challenges, Dan has always been there with encouragement and thoughtful advice.

What inspires me most is how, even with 20+ years of experience, he stays curious, keeps up with the latest trends, and continues to be a lifelong learner. His example has pushed me to do the same.

I can’t overstate how much I’ve grown with Dan’s guidance. His impact goes far beyond design skills. He truly makes the people around him better.”
