Some words from my clients

I recently had the opportunity to work with Daniel on a big web site project. Daniel was responsible for the animation and programming aspect of the site, Which involved Flash programming and Action script. It was the first time I worked with Daniel and I was highly impressed with the level of work he provided. Daniel is very talented and was a pleasure to work with. He is professional, honest and with a tight schedule he delivered right on time! I will not hesitate to collaborate with him on future projects as well.

Emmanuel Paletz - Senior Art Director

I have had the pleasure of working with Daniel on several projects that were both time sensitive and complex. In each case Daniel was a pure professional who not only executed flawlessly but offered up solutions as well during the entire process. He made himself available at all hours and was super attentive to every request. Working with Daniel gave us a sense of confidence on delivery time and quality. He is passionate about the projects and is super easy to communicate with. He has gone above and beyond on each project and I looking forward to working with him in the future.

Marc Battaglia - Creative Director

Daniel is a pleasure to work with. His understanding and execution of project requirements is exceptional.

Shane Handford - Director of Operations at RED The Agency

It was a pleasure working with Daniel. He was very responsible in assessing our project ahead of time, and adhering to his recommendations. He also communicates in a very matter-of-fact manner which helps reduce any type of miscommunication. Daniel was very accommodating to our feedback during the process. I would hire him again in the future if I get the opportunity.

Alex Rodriguez - Creative Strategist, Author and Speaker

I hired Daniel to help me with the development of an Adobe Flash-built mobile app and I can tell you the guy knows Flash in and out. He delivered exactly what I needed on time and at a reasonable cost. I hired him more than once and I plan to hire him again. He's a real problem solver and his work can be trusted. Highly recommended.
