Danny was exactly what our early-stage startup needed. He brought a hands-on, strategic, and detail-oriented approach to product and design, with a genuine investment in our success, particularly in the critical area of women’s health and menopause solutions.
Co-Founder | CEO
Ed Smith - Adora Health
Danny was instrumental in shaping our health app, contributing to both graphic design and user experience. Over a year, he refined our UI, improved usability through user testing, and helped create a visually engaging product. His creativity, attention to detail, and collaborative approach made a real impact. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a designer who combines aesthetics with user insight.

Founder & CEO
Elena Sinel - Acorn aspirations
I never thought someone who is used to working in a corporate environment would be able to engage 40 teenage girls for 2 days in a fun and interactive way, teaching them ideation, UX, prototyping tools and programming using Scrum and Agile. Our hackathon would not have been the success that it was without Danny.
