Feedback

Danny is by far the best consultant in his category that I have ever worked with. Truly great digital experts, for me, have been hard to come by. Danny is different. He is principled, rolls up his sleeves, has a plan, sticks to it, is flexible, but knows his science, and OWNS the deliverable as if he’s a part of your business. I would have him back in a heartbeat.

Danny’s fresh perspective and design-thinking approach helped us to make sense of our user research in an objective and considered way. His well-conceived workshop framework enabled the team to define a clear set of priorities for future design and testing. His empathetic approach to user experience supported the team to align on and articulate a more lucid product journey vision. Thank you!

Founder, Read with Audrey

Danny is a fantastic team player and an all-round pleasure to work with. Working alongside innovation strategists and insight leaders, Danny has been crucial in identifying and architecting a number of disruptive new digital and retail propositions for our most senior clients. His ability to facilitate workshops in particular is second to none - he’s engaging, full of energy and always adds a tonne of value (on all things UX) in every interaction. While his experience is vast and extremely diverse, his depth in lean startup and design thinking is incredibly impressive.
