Hey, I'm Daniel

I'm a product designer based in Washington, DC, working with early-stage startups. Recently, I've teamed up with the founders of Dex, Supper, Sensible (acquired by Coinbase), Workmate, and Ritual Dental to build zero to one products.

I grew up in the coastal city of Lima, where I studied communications and spent time building brands and creating tech content. After reviewing hundreds of products, I realized I wanted to build them. So I taught myself design and programming, and I've spent the last two years doing exactly that.

When I'm not designing, I enjoy cooking, overplanning trips, taking photos that sit unedited for a while, and fine-tuning every corner of my apartment.
