DESIGN

I am a designer from Chicago currently studying at Carnegie Mellon University. My interdisciplinary interests lie in the intersection of human-centered design government, education, and technology.

Hey, it’s Daniel (he/him)! Born and raised in the southwest side of Chicago, I am currently a Bachelor of Humanities and Arts student at Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh, PA. My interdisciplinary degree is anchored by concentrations in Communication Design and Politics where I hope to understand how human-centered design can be of service to the world.

Stemming from my work as a graphic designer and photographer, I have a deep passion for the space around me and carry a huge curiosity towards the political landscape.
