About Me
I'm Dan, a Lead Product Designer with 14+ years of experience in visual design, UX research, and product strategy, including nearly six years at Vacasa designing enterprise tools and consumer products.
I focus on complex, data-heavy products where inefficiency costs real money and wasted time impacts real people like customer service reps drowning in fragmented tools, field workers juggling multiple apps, and operations teams managing thousands of customer requests daily.
My approach combines deep user research, strategic thinking, and exceptional craft. I believe the best products come from truly understanding user needs and pain points, then designing solutions that are both beautiful and functional.
I'm seeking a full-time remote Lead or Staff product design role on an established product team. I thrive in cultures that value decency, evidence-based product development, and calculated risk-taking in the pursuit of real innovation.
