About me

Hello! My name is Danny and I'm a UX and Product Designer currently based in Chicago.

I am an extremely happy, energetic individual, obsessed with amazing coffee ☕️, my lovely wife 👩🏻, my dog Rosie 🐶, and embarking on adventures to explore and learn more about this incredible world and the people in it.

While touring as a professional drummer for over 15 years, I simultaneously ran my own business as a product, graphic, web, and furniture designer. The deeper I explored into the world of design thinking and user experience, the more passionate and committed I became for crafting experiences that make a significant and lasting impact.

My multifaceted background in marketing, strategy, innovation, and business management equips me with the ability to embrace complex challenges and push the boundaries of creativity in everything I do.
