Most Recent UX Work
I have been employed with Walmart corporate since July 2021.
My first responsibilities were to design rule-based solutions for their Catalog Management team. After 9 months, I joined the merchandising design organization where I simplified a multi-system Cost Management experience into a streamlined, insightful, single workflow. I then worked in Pricing for over a year managing and designing an E2E experience combining 20+ tools and features into 1 modular and innovative workflow.
I'd like to share more of my story and experience with Walmart. I legally cannot display my work, but I can speak to the many solutions I've delivered for this Fortune 1 Company over the past 3 years.

What do others think of Dan & Ralaworks?
The most rewarding aspect of what we do is to design an experience our customers love and appreciate. See what past clients, co-workers, and fellow contractors have said over the years!
I highly recommend Dan for any UX designer role based on my 2 years of experience working with him on multiple projects. Dan started to work with my team with little knowledge or background in merchandising. He was humble and curious. He was hungry to meet merchants and understand what they did, identify their pain points, and propose creative solutions to help them get time back.
During our time together we sketched out numerous solutions and tested them with our end users. Dan was never married to his ideas or designs and always showed up the next day with a sketch taking both my feedback and user feedback into consideration. As a person, I really enjoyed working with him. He is the kind of guy that I wouldn’t mind being stuck at an airport with for several hours. I also had the experience to see Dan interact with my engineering team. He guided them on the interactions he created and was fast to whip up micro-interactions that we missed during the design phase.
His designs were always clean, visually pleasing, and intuitive. Feel free to reach out to me if you have any questions about working with Dan. I’m happy to provide more detailed examples that support my recommendation.
Diego Angarita Horowitz - Product Manager, Omni-Channel Commerce, Walmart
Dan is a wonderfully talented, charismatic, and passionate designer and creative mind. He cares uniquely about the quality of work, thoroughness, and detail that goes into his work. Most of all, Dan has a laser focus on what the desired outcome is. He works tirelessly to deliver exactly what is outlined and aims to impress in all he does.
Sean Busch - Co-Founder & CEO, Puracy
Dan has been my manager at Puracy for the past year. As Lead Designer and Head of Brand Strategy, Dan has shown a best-in-class leadership strategy that has lead to meaningful growth for Puracy. Dan is detail-focused, hard-working, and a manager that is deeply devoted to the excellence of any project he manages. He covers a wide field of expertise from graphic design, brand consulting, and video directing. Dan has a fine-tuned eye for anything video or graphic-related. He is able to pick out small details in order to create a high-quality product and is apt to make precise storyboards for clear video direction. Dan has an incredibly positive attitude and has been amazing to work with. I am so excited to see Dan’s future growth and have great confidence in any brand he manages in the future.
Mason Griffin - Email Marketing Manager, Puracy
Dan and I have worked closely together for 2.5 years and is a valuable resource to our team. He is a very strategic, timely, and detail-focused individual who strives for perfection. He makes sure to see every angle during any given project which is a skill that gives the best possibility for success. Dan always has an eye for the big picture and continually keeps the vision of the company in mind. His ability to create “something out of nothing” and to optimize and motivate employees (remotely across the country) makes the challenges of working for a small, yet big company easier to overcome. I have no doubt that Dan will be an asset to any client and/or organization that is fortunate enough to work with him.
Spencer Taylor - Graphic Design Manager, Puracy
Dan is a highly-skilled designer and illustrator. Dan did some freelance design work for my business and we could not have been happier with his work product, collaboration, and creativity. If you are looking for a design partner then look no further than Dan!
Richard Wallace - Agile and Digital Transformation Leader, CircleSquare
Dan is hard working, diligent and insightful. He has outstanding organizational skills for a designer and understands the complexities of the client-agency relationship. He is an asset to any design project for the planning and execution excellence he brings.
