I've had the pleasure of reviewing and/or approving three recent projects she's worked on: Seattle City Light AP 101, AARP Foundation Back to Work 50+, and Morgan Lewis Risky Business 2.
I'm so impressed by Danielle's:
Attention to detail
Accuracy
Ability to meet (and exceed!) deadlines
Smart questions
Willingness to try something new
Positive attitude
Eagerness to learn more about WCAG
Communication skills
Collaboration
As R.S. would say: Huzzah!
Best, T.”

“Danielle has a natural ability to effortlessly simplify complex topics into manageable learning experiences. She packages those learning experiences into beautifully designed interfaces that not only inform the learner but provide a sense of fun and enjoyment. Danielle does not settle when it comes to her work—she will iterate quickly and often, paying attention to the smallest details that have big impacts on the learning. She is creative not only with the visuals of her work but also with the learning design. Anybody looking for a skilled instructional designer need look no further than Danielle.”
