ABOUT ME

Daniel standing and laughing in front of a wall of street art, just off Brick Lane in London

G'day! I'm an Aussie product designer recently moved to Melbourne/Naarm, where I've been working on AI products since mid 2023 at Culture Amp (one of Australia's leading startups). I spent the previous 10 years living in London, where I designed products across job tech, biometric verification, health tech, and mental health spaces.

I'm a completely self-taught designer and life-long learner who loves designing usable and beautiful products which hopefully simplify peoples lives. I've been doing this design thing for over fifteen years now (product design for 11 years of that), so you know I'll bring the design chops, web and native app design knowledge, and collaborative experience to all my projects.

I believe that the best user experience's don't just lead to great business outcomes, but are also humane. I'm committed to making my work as accessible and inclusive as possible, while also acknowledging that this will be a lifelong learning process. This will mean making mistakes at times, learning from them, improving, and bringing a humility into my design process to make products that work for everyone who uses them. 💪

Outside of design I'm a keen gamer (love a good RPG or story-driven game), an avid book reader (I'm really into human-behaviour and history currently), and you'll find me and my girlfriend wife regularly travelling — backpacking in Jordan, ballooning in Turkey, and eating delicious gnocchi in Italy (which was like eating my Nona's again!) are highlights.
