DESIGNING DIGITAL SOLUTIONS
FOR HUMAN NEEDS
Hi.👋
My name is Dan and I’m a Lead Product Designer based in LA.
I’m passionate about blending digital strategy with future tech to solve real people problems. Over the past 13 years, I've designed impactful experiences for companies like Spatial Labs, Meta, and Pizza Hut.
Currently, I'm working as a Senior Product Designer at Meta Reality Labs designing AI-powered experiences across our suite of devices.

I worked together with Dan on an augmented reality project. From the day I joined, his dedication to advancing the medium of AR was immediately apparent.
Dan’s breadth of impact went far beyond what his title would suggest: he unified company Figma files, authored extensive design systems to streamline the team’s workflow, refined physical product packaging, and encouraged constant conversation about finding design inspiration, while still making enough time for us to hop into impromptu white-boarding sessions.
I highly recommend Dan for teams exploring spatial computing and XR, or looking for strong design leadership. He will blow your expectations away.

Dan’s impact at Spatial Labs was profound, shaping both our design and team culture from day one. As a skilled product designer, he established our design system in Figma and instilled a prototyping culture that elevated our entire team’s capabilities. His leadership during our discussions, reviews, and workshops—both within the design team and cross-functionally—inspired collaboration, sparked new ideas, and promoted design excellence.
What truly sets Dan apart is his strategic mindset and unwavering dedication to grounding design decisions in real-world problems, while continuously refining the product’s “why.” His critical thinking skills ensured that every design choice contributed meaningfully to product impact. Dan’s leadership and commitment to excellence make him an invaluable asset to any team fortunate enough to work with him.

We worked on a project for several months where Daniel was one of the leading designers. During our cooperation, he always provided guidance and constructive feedback and had a keen eye in detail.
He has a great ability to plan, prioritize and manage several milestones on the project. These attributes make him very competent in his profession. I truly enjoyed working with Dan.

Dan is undeniably one of the best designers I’ve ever had the pleasure to collaborate and work closely with. He’s skilled in multimodal and spatial design. He is a systems thinker and skilled in strategic design thinking.
Partnering with him on the Meta Design System sprint was a breeze, I barely felt the tight deadlines because of how generative and creatively fulfilling it was to collaborate and conceptualize with him. I will miss his partnership and envy the next team he joins.
