I’ve used Danny to create graphics not just for my former business, but also for personal projects. His website doesn’t present the full breath that this guy is able to do. His artistry, because it is just that, would be ideal not just for a businesses website or marketing materials, but for the graphics required for illustration of a novel, children’s books, or something more personal such as where I’ve utilized his services such as creating an animated picture, Personalized for the individual or individuals, to present as a gift. He also has some very creative caricatures and can create the same for you.

I had the pleasure of working with Danny at Shopmonkey, where he was a talented illustrator and graphic designer. During our time together, I was consistently impressed by Danny's creativity and technical abilities. His designs were always innovative and well-executed, and he had a great eye for detail. Whether it was creating graphics for marketing materials, or developing new ideas, Danny consistently produced high-quality work that exceeded expectations. In addition to his technical skills, Danny was a pleasure to work with. He was always willing to lend a hand, and his positive and collaborative attitude made him a valuable member of the team. He was also a great communicator and was able to clearly articulate his ideas and vision to both colleagues and clients. Overall, I would highly recommend Danny for any graphic design or illustration position. His talent and dedication to his craft make him a valuable asset to any organization.

      Product Designer focused on creating meaningful experiences that answer customer needs. When there’s hundreds of tasks to do in a week people struggle to find time for the things that are meaningful to them. The primary goal of my designs are to give users their time back.
