Dan is an exceptionally empathetic mentor. His knack for tuning in and catering to the needs of many mentees, coupled with his ability to remember details, and personalise every interaction and mentor session is truly remarkable! 

Craft initially drew me in for support as a solo designer, but each mentor session is crafted beyond role-specific guidance, which encourages me to explore possibilities beyond my own beliefs. His broad perspective serves as a true inspiration, shedding light for any designer on various topics from personal and career development, industry entry, UX/UI frameworks/processes, tips, tricks, and invaluable insight. I’m very grateful to have Dan as a mentor, he is a beacon of light for any designer seeking guidance, and inspiration. I look forward to continuing our journey together.

So incredibly valuable, it's off the charts! It was so awesome to hear Daniel's perspective live, and it supercharged my motivation to evolve my career and keep building it out! Especially keeping the topics Daniel covered in mind. I've gone back through the topics a few times to take down some notes of the details I loved most. There was so much great insight!

Dan's excellent facilitation ensures that mentorship sessions always feel psychologically safe, so we can grow together. Dan goes above and beyond with sharing knowledge, checking in, and planning sessions. He deeply cares about helping us mentees to grow, with an empathetic but pragmatic approach. I always walk away from sessions with him feeling inspired and empowered (doesn't hurt that we get to watch beautifully curated presentations and videos!) Dan's accessible, focused feedback has helped me with writing my case studies and elevating my resume, which has done wonders for boosting my confidence in my job search. I'm excited to continue  Craft(ing) my highest creative potential into reality.

For me Daniel is not just a mentor but a daily inspiration. To have someone so dedicated to the craft on your side makes you feel like you can take on the world. What Daniel does best is to push you to your limits and achieve greatness. He has helped me realize and achieve so much more than I thought would be possible. From refining my design skills to understanding the nuances of critique, I couldn’t have asked for a better mentor. The evolution that I saw and continue to see with Daniel is truly amazing. If you get the chance I highly recommend working with one of the most driven, understanding and skilled designers I know!

Daniel has been my mentor and has been super helpful and very switched on from the get go. He understood my intentions and adjusted his approach to meet my needs. He helped me set goals and ensured I got the most out of my time with him. He not only guided me through different case studies, but also pushed and challenged me creatively to raise the benchmark. A very down to earth person, enthusiastic and genuine designer overall. Thank you Daniel, for your time and efforts in getting me up to speed with my case studies, portfolio and personal brand.

I am super appreciative of Daniel's professional guidance. His level of expertise and openness to share his experiences through clear examples and personal stories gave me an obvious pathway to improvement. He stood out as an example of outstanding leadership through mentoring with honest care for the industry newcomers.

Daniela Stankovic - Product Designer (UX/UI)

I had the great pleasure to be mentored by Daniel. He was very good at expanding my thought processes to see things at a macro level, and from a different perspective. He was meticulous at discovering gaps in my UX and UI designs, and provided suggestions on how to improve them without micromanaging me. Daniel went out of his way to ensure my portfolio really stood out for my interviews. I would definitely say my UX/UI design skills have levelled up tremendously during my time with him. I would definitely (and have already) recommend Daniel as a mentor for anyone who is keen to explore the product design industry.

Derrick Loo - Product Designer

I worked with Daniel to create my UX portfolio and everyone I have shown has been in awe. I have industry friends at Tiktok and Meta, and both have been mind blown by the product design case studies that I created under Daniel's direction. They were so impressed, they recommended me straight away for roles. The mentorship that Daniel provided has really kickstarted my UX career goals. I know I am not there yet, but it is evident that all the tips and guides he shared are 1001% key to shaping my UI/UX Career.

After being mentored by Daniel (which I requested almost out of desperation), I took his advice and made a few changes to my portfolio. Recently, I managed to land the job I wanted. I am very thankful for the help Daniel gave, and I am aware of how valuable it was to get advice from someone like Daniel, with so much experience in the industry. I have great respect for the work Daniel does to help others, and I will definitely not forget the help I received from him.

Daniel has been incredibly insightful on my career journey. Beyond just providing practical advice on my resume, portfolio, and interview tips (which he’s brilliant at!), I truly appreciate his perspective on each step of my path as a new designer breaking into the industry.

What I love most, though, is the community that Daniel has fostered. It’s such an active and supportive group where everyone genuinely wants to help and look out for each other. Our weekly catch-ups always leave me feeling energised and motivated to keep learning and growing. Thanks to Daniel and everyone here, I feel truly encouraged, supported, and understood.
