Artist Statement | Bio | Resume
Dan is an artist interested in documenting the unnoticed details of the human-made world. He finds beauty in the patterns, textures, colors, and forms - both designed and emergent. Each of his photographs and sculptures has undergone a process of stripping away extraneous elements until a pure detail emerges.
Over the past 25 years, Dan's professional career has spanned a variety of design disciplines, ultimately focusing on User Experience Design (the art of making things easy to use). He is currently the Founding Designer of Cr8tr, an AI startup focused on helping Creators thrive. Previously, he spent 3 years as Director of UX at Study.com, 6 years at Thuuz as VP of User Experience, 10 years as Creative Director for Pandora, and several years designing museum exhibits and other fun stuff.
As a student, Dan studied Product Design at Stanford - a unique program blending the disciplines of engineering and art.
