Daniel is a focused executer with strong design talent, and a warm positive disposition to brighten everyone's day on the team. He was able to connect quickly with our cross-functional team to understand their needs and deliver against our current brand design. I would recommend Daniel to any design team.

Emma Jones

Dan was instrumental in bringing all our design work in-house, with the team having previously used an external agency. He made the whole process easy and smooth whilst at the same time managing a number of requests from the team for new creative and never missing a deadline. Dan quickly got up to speed with the business requirements, whilst at the same time challenging and taking the creative to a new level. He is great to work with, and gets on well with everyone. I'm more than happy to recommend him.

Al Davies-Jones

Dan was one of my favourite people to work with at Freshfield - and I was gutted when we didn't work together any longer - I still am! He's friendly, hilarious, and an amazing designer. I worked closely with Dan on a number of clients and whenever I needed anything from him, he was quick to turn it around and it was always high quality. Dan would be an asset to any team and any company.

This entailed using Indesign, Illustrator, Photoshop and also navigating the PwC’s home stock photography site. I also produced several presentations for partners which were interspersed with technical charts.
