Samuel Stesney
UX Designer, Tylenol
As a content strategist, I worked closely with Daniel integrating content with UX/design. Daniel is great to work with! He is very collaborative, open to feedback, and could quickly turn ideas/brainstorms into a prototype, which was very helpful. He always has the consumer’s needs in mind when designing and was proactive in thinking about how we could continuously improve the user experience. Since content and design are so closely connected, I appreciated how Daniel made sure content was part of the design process from the beginning and how changes and feedback were quickly, efficiently, and strategically incorporated into the design.
