WELCOME


I’m Daniel Newman, a human-centered user experience and strategic ​ designer with over 10 years of experience in the technology, ecommerce, healthcare, and financial industries. In both in-house and consultative roles, I have led companies through major innovative vision projects and evolved products through long-term iterative processes.

 ABOUT ME

My background in technology and the arts work harmoniously in my designs. My creative side is rebellious and infinite. When I ideate the sky is the limit. I bend the rules of the environment to allow the most creative and innovative solutions to come forth. My analytical side is calculating and methodical. It reintroduces structure in my creative process at critical points of the design to ensure my solutions are feasible both financially and technologically, that they meet the needs of the stakeholders, and that all edge cases are accounted for. These two sides engage cohesively throughout the design process bringing about innovative and pragmatic solutions.
