Hey there! It's Daniel 👋

I'm a product designer with 8 years of experience creating thoughtful experiences across complex and unique problems. I'm currently working at Getty Images, leading search experiences, and I thrive on solving ambiguous product challenges, helping shape product direction, and contributing to strategic decisions that move teams and users forward.

 

When I’m not designing, you’ll probably find me wandering around the neighborhood with my dog, Cookie 🐶, trying out new recipes, or squeezing in some time for video games.

Random Facts

• I enjoy front-end coding and built this site from scratch. There's nothing quite like seeing design come to life in the browser!
• I served 2 years in the South Korean military, where I learned discipline, resilience, and what it means to be a dependable team player.
• Before product design, I worked as an office administrator for 3 years —until I realized I needed more creative and meaningful work. That led me to move to Canada and study UX.
