Meet Dan

I've spent 15+ years helping founders close the gap between what they've built and how the world sees it. Brand, product and web design for startups and global brands including Apple, Ferrari, Vodafone and the American Red Cross.

Most founders I work with have something category-defining that isn't landing as it should. Investors don't get it fast enough. Deals need the founder in the room to close. The website doesn't match the ambition. I fix that.

I work across the full spectrum: zero-to-one product design, branding, websites, pitch decks and ongoing design partnerships. I've designed apps that generated $90m+ in revenue (American Red Cross), websites behind $100m brands (Nuuds), and brands that unlocked oversubscribed raises (Arlula, Jude, Genie).

I move fast. Most sprints are 2-4 weeks. I prototype in real time, test with real users and iterate until the thing actually works. No handoffs to wait on, no committees.

Previously grew and sold an agency (HeyHiHello). Now I work solo, remotely, across 30+ countries. I work best with ambitious people who value honesty, move at speed and want to be the best in their market.
