Kind words

Dani is one of the most passionate and talented designers I have ever had the pleasure to work with. Her dedication to creating user experiences that truly meet the needs of users is tireless; resulting in high-quality and thoughtful solutions that have an impact. Dani not only contributes her talents on a project level, but she is also always looking to make an impact within the organization — such as taking on the role of developing an enterprise design system — and also within her community — co-leading the 3M Gives Volunteer effort for the Design Center in the Twin Cities metro. I know that Dani will approach every project and every assignment she is given with energy, passion, and a critical eye for good design. This is what makes her a great designer and an even better collaborator.

When you get the opportunity to work and collaborate with Dani as I have, you'll soon realize that the bar has been raised significantly, and it will only elevate whatever it is you're working on. As a designer, Dani always strives for the highest standard with her passion and attention to detail, while always being mindful of the users' needs and pain points. Dani has such positive energy, and always focuses on clarity and actions. These traits make her a natural leader and people always respect her input. Dani is also a champion for social causes — she has been leading the 3M Gives Volunteer program for the 3M Design Center, where she coordinated a lot of the efforts to make an impact in the Twin Cities community. Consider yourself lucky if you get a chance to know and collaborate with her.
