ABOUT:
Dan has worked at a variety of agencies specializing in anything from advertising to packaging in industries including music, cosmetics, hospitality and alcohol. Over the years, he has narrowed his focus to anything branding and packaging. Dan received a BS in Graphic Design Communications from Jefferson University (formerly Philadelphia University) back in 2008. A couple years later, with a desire to explore other cities, he relocated to Boston, and then the Bay Area a few years after that. He currently resides in Asheville.
