About
About me
I design products end to end: research, flows, interface, the design system behind it, and the front-end details that make it feel finished. I have worked in-house at a payments company and a digital health startup, and as the only designer in a four-person team.
What I care about is the moment someone uses the thing for the first time without reading anything. That takes more deleting than adding, and a close relationship with the engineers who build it.

Reviews
Recommendations
Daniel is the designer engineers ask for. His files are finished, his reasons are written down, and he changes his mind when the data says so.
He made a clinical tool that nurses actually like. I did not think that was possible.
