Bio
Angela Alarcon
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.

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.
