Daniel is an incredible designer and design leader. He's able to work as a high-level operator who allocates resources, but also gets deep in the weeds when it comes to design details. This allows him to earn a lot of trust and credibility within his design teams, where he leads by example as a player-coach.
His product intuition and business acumen allow him to make super crisp and methodical decisions across the organization from growth to revenue to new product areas. On top of this, he's a fantastic collaborator for someone like me in product. I can always count on Daniel to gut-check an idea and help take it from idea to launch.

One of the things that struck me most when you joined ClassDojo was the amount of time and effort you put into talking to me. You listened to my version of history, company problems, and areas for improvement. You even jumped on an hour plus call with me before your official start date. Beyond simply listening, you matched my words with my actions and used that to help me explore my own strengths, ambitions, and motivations. I saw you do that with each member of the design team.
I don’t think I’ve ever had a manager who helped me learn something essential about myself — especially as quickly as you have. You’ve had a profound impact on how I think of myself as a designer and the value that offers the company and the team.

Daniel helped us fill a very important gap in our company's design capabilities. As with any startup, our resources and capabilities were limited. When it came time to undertake a massive re-branding effort, Daniel was able to step in and provide both deep experience and a wide design skill set to allow us to successfully explore and implement a full re-branding.
Daniel brings deep experience in brand, product, and marketing design — as well as in leading teams. The most important traits he brought were intangible: specifically, an extreme attention tp detail and a rigorous process. When you're undertaking a project as ambitious as a full rebrand and relaunch, you need someone who has been through it. Daniel knows what world-class looks like and he knows how to get there.

Within in a few minutes of meeting Daniel for the first time and exchanging thoughts on Design, I knew he was an incredible talent. In the following two years that we worked together at Square these initial instincts were validated time and time again.
Daniel is an extraordinary talent. A meticulous designer, he is the embodiment of a pro's pro. Daniel's knowledge of design and photography has few peers and to that, he is also a gifted educator - helping and mentoring his colleagues with great enthusiasm and skill.
All this ability, along with sharp wit and great sense of humor makes Daniel someone very easy to recommend, but more than that, someone I hope to professionally partner with again. He's one of the gems in our industry.
