Bio
Stephen Zarra
Oh my goodness I still cannot begin to understand the level of detail and complexity that Daniel sees in his eyes whenever he approaches a task. As a designer I tend to think that I'm the one seeing all the subtle nuances but after years of working alongside Daniel I have come to the realization that I have a long way to go. Daniel is a highly skilled professional that will add immense amounts of value to any project he is included on. Oh and if you're needing a healthy dose of humor to uplift the team's spirits - Daniel will provide!
Anya Kartavenko
Daniel is the sort of person you always wish you had on your team -- give him a loosely defined project and watch him turn it into a marvel of organization where every detail is thought through and presented in a way that is user-friendly and pleasing to the eye. Nothing stops Daniel -- neither system constraints, nor not-quite-working code, nor missing requirements -- he plows through, making improvements along the way where you never thought any could be made. Daniel is such a pleasure to work with -- a great writer and content strategist, extremely reliable and with an incredible sense of humor -- he illuminates the most dreadful project.
