"I had the pleasure of working closely with Daniel for a few years at OpenComp, and I can confidently say he is one of the most talented and dedicated designers I've had the chance to collaborate with. He approaches every challenge with a deep sense of responsibility, always striving to deliver solutions that not only meet but exceed expectations. His ability to balance creativity with practicality is remarkable.

Beyond his technical abilities, Daniel is a true team player and he cares for the work he produces. He’s collaborative, open to feedback, and always ready to go the extra mile to ensure the success of the project. His enthusiasm for continuous learning and improvement is contagious and inspires those around him.

I'm very lucky to have crossed roads with him."

–Jose Diaz, Former Senior Software Engineer at OpenComp

"I had the opportunity to work with Daniel on a UX research and design project for a local company (SquadFusion). I found Daniel to be mature beyond his years. Highly intelligent and personable, Daniel demonstrated his excellent verbal and written communication skills on this project. He has all the tools in the UI/UX toolbox including research, interaction design and visual design. For this project, Daniel created the research plan, conducted the research, created the wireframes for both mobile and desktop, and then went on to create the visual design. I highly recommend Daniel for any organization looking for a full stack designer with a passion for learning."

–Harris Kravatz, Former Head of User Experience and Product Design & Senior Director at Oracle

"Daniel's initial project with us focused on conducting user interviews, consolidating analysis from them, and creating mockups. He completed all of these with a much higher degree of maturity and professionalism than I expected, given his actual experience level [at the time]. He performed far beyond.

After getting to know him better, I am not surprised. Daniel combines high intelligence with a confident but low-key personality, a great mix. I didn't participate personally in the interviews, but received great feedback from both our customers and the very senior UX person who sat in on most of the interviews.

From that, he provided functional recommendations and mockups with a mix of items that reflected well from the raw interviews and, [added] his own spin to fill in gaps which were not covered. In another great mix, he's both detail-oriented and creative..." Read the full quote on LinkedIn

“Daniel is one of the most conscientious, hardworking, and pleasant students I have had in my 25+ years teaching. He is smart, an excellent designer, and is able to get along with a wide variety of people. His positive disposition, leadership and flexibility within groups is unique in someone his age. The quality of the work he produces is excellent and is evidence of his grasp of user experience design principles and the meticulousness with which he approaches his work.”
