Previously Roblox / Airbnb / Dolby Laboratories / Visa

👋 I'm Daniel - I collect old things and new adventures. At Dolby Labs, I collaborated with musicians and filmmakers. At Visa, I dug my hands into a Super Bowl commercial and art directed Team USA Olympians. At Airbnb I explored spaces for entertainment and at Roblox virtual worlds immersed in color and audio.

Design has always captivated me — as a kid, I constantly wondered “How did someone make this?” and only ever drew things I could actually use, like Nike shoes or sports cars. Now as a co-founder and product designer, I apply that appreciation of craftsmanship to our journeys, interactions, emotion, and experiences. Me in my element is hands-on, figuring out both the big and small details of a project and how they map back to the goals of the business.

I live in California and have too many instruments.
