What people say about working with me

The few years I was privileged enough to work with Daryn were the best years of my career. If I’m ever in the position to run my own company, I will be calling him up to join my team. Daryn’s got the design chops – from low fidelity to high fidelity visual design to illustration. Beyond those skills, Daryn has intangible soft skills that are exactly what any team wants and needs – he is positive, he has mastered sharing and receiving design critique, he’s eager to learn, he’s willing to roll up his sleeves and do what the team needs without seeking recognition, and he’s downright hilarious. Daryn is one of those people who everyone on the team loves to work with. He’s pretty much awesome.

4C’s come to mind when I think of Daryn: Creative, Collaborative, Curious, Can-do. I’ve had the pleasure of knowing him for over 2 years on our Commerce Cloud team, during which time I was able to witness him evolve from visual designer to a product design lead. Above all, I was impressed with Daryn’s ability to tackle and solve any challenge that came his way with a positive, always learning and growing, mentality. And, of course, he’s always building the coolest things at home that somehow always made their way into our design conversations. Daryn would be a true asset for any positions requiring a collaborative, creative, and delivery-oriented designer, and comes with my heartfelt recommendation.

I had the pleasure of managing Daryn for nearly 3 years at Salesforce. Not only is Daryn a very talented product and visual designer, but he’s an all-around great guy. His dedication and support of his teammates was incredibly influential on establishing a team culture of creativity, collaboration, trust and fun. Daryn also exhibited a thirst to grow — whether it was developing his understanding of our products or business, or to continue to expand his already strong design skillset. I thoroughly enjoyed and am thankful for the time I had to work with and manage Daryn, and would highly recommend him for senior product design roles.

Daryn is a well-rounded designer. He uses his illustrative talents to his advantage and incorporates creative ideas into all of his work. He is also very detail conscious.

Daryn is very polite and professional to work with. He provides an experienced eye, and a detail oriented critique. I appreciate his experience and always use it to my advantage.
