Hi! I’m Daniel Gonzalez, based in Berlin, Germany, originally from Venezuela, born in 1983.

I’m a product designer with more than 12 years of experience solving UX/UI for clients such as HERE Technologies, Daimler, Audi, Nokia, Fjord, Frog, Telefonica I+D, El Bulli Foundation, Bestiario, Desigual and Quadrigram, among others.

Aa an experienced broad generalist, I’ve covered all areas of design with a skill set that forms a holistic view of visual communications from visual design, user experience, motion graphic, marketing, to research and innovation.

For the past 6 years, my role has been to lead design efforts to guide developers through the complexity of data-driven products, finding the perfect balance between creating rich interactive experiences and providing the necessary controls, in order to achieve the desired objectives.

I’ve been involved in all parts of the product cycle, from product definition, design and development, to product launch, in various industries, from cosumer facing producs to enterprise solutions.

Due to the recent pandemic, I‘ve also been part of various initiatives to create tools that help alleviate the economic impact, such as an app to monitor disease outbreaks globally and tools to help small shops transform into delivery businesses.

I’m very passionate when it comes to accessibility design and removing cultural biases. I practice inclusive design because every culture, community or person should have the rights to experience good design in their everyday life.
