TESTIMONIALS

I’ve worked with Dan on a number of animation and illustration projects over the years and always been thrilled with the quality of his work, his approach, and his drive to take on new challenges. I can always count on Dan to bring a fresh perspective and some new ideas, and to be brave enough to challenge our thinking. I confidently say his input makes all the difference to a project! Can’t wait for our next opportunity!
— Jennifer Shetty: Learning Design Lead at Sainsbury's Learning
Glued are a marketing agency provided a full range of research, design and marketing services to our clients. As a small business we work with a team of associates to deliver projects. As with an new supplier it’s always a concern whether they can deliver the type of thing the client needs. But in the case of Danny his portfolio showed great creative scope so I wasn’t concerned about the quality of work.
— David Wilson: Creative partner - Glued limited.
Danny is an expert in interpreting a motion design brief to support a concept and keep it on brand. He takes great care to interpret ideas that will translate well to animation and in doing so brings complicated infographics to life. He has a thorough process involving discussing and developing a brief, providing storyboards to ensure you know what you are getting and finally executing the animation. Animation projects can be difficult to manage as they can easily go sideways into new ideas and end up taking longer and costing more. Danny ensures a high standard of creative work and an efficient, painless process.
— Mario Barba: Creative Director - Studio Barba
Danny provided the “wow” factor to our digital learning solutions, and helped to break down complexity into simple steps through his motion graphics production. Danny is also one of the most genuine people I have worked with. His natural integrity and care for others as well as his engaging communication style help people to feel settled and assured rapidly, a great guy to have in your team.
— Matthew Hayes: Head of Learning at Awaris GmbH
