“Dan is a special, hard-to-find talent, and a truly fantastic person. Dan combines extreme thoughtfulness with a constant curiosity around the most up to date UX/UI fundamentals and thinking, dedication, hard work, and a collaborative, empathetic style that will transform a culture. So excited to see what’s next for him.”
Tom Slade
Product Manager / Founder
“Dan is an exceptional designer. Not only is he incredibly thoughtful and empathetic, but he excels at remaining unbiased, creative, and really listening to what people have to say. He has limitless ideas and is always looking for ways to solve customer problems. He is unwavering in his kindness, ability to keep an open mind and ability to find the silver lining in everything. I have learned so much from Dan while working with him – not only about work, but most importantly about how to be a wonderful person. He is a true gem.
Any team would be lucky to have Dan, and I can assure you that customers will undoubtedly agree. He will be their biggest advocate.”
Tami Checkoway
Product Leader
"Dan is one of the most talented designers in the industry. He understands the demands of design from the end-user's point of view. This talent will not be available for long. I highly recommend Dan. Snatch him before he becomes famous."
Scott Begin
Vice President of Strategic Partnerships
“Dan was a senior product designer at the company I work for, Label Insight, long before I joined the company years ago. He built our entire design department after many years of carrying everything design related single-handedly, supporting five fully fledged agile teams with around twenty complete single page applications shared between them. Today we have an entire design team, system, and component library that enables engineers to build entire front ends without having to write new components or even touch CSS outside of routine alignment instructions, which is a testament to him as a collaborator, but also the scalability of his design work. On top of that he’s just an all around great person – one of my favorites.”

Dan Lutger is an amazing, empathetic teammate and leader, and an excellent addition to any team.
Dalton Van Hatchet
CEO + Co-Founder Hatchet 🪓 Ventures
“In my opinion, designing an elegant workflow and a product is difficult. Designing the same for an industry, such as metallurgy, that is as old as time, is twice as difficult. Dan not only overcame these challenges as the founding designer at Felux, but also delivered a very elegant and a successful product. My favourite of Dan’s, is the work around “pricing analysis”. I never thought a plethora of numbers in different units could look this good on a screen! But Dan, he made it possible. Dan’s talent and eye for design is something I’ve not seen before.
Empathy is one of many Dan’s core strengths. He is always accepting of feedback from engineering. He accommodated our concerns and altered designs accordingly without compromising user experience. It was always a pleasure to talk to Dan over a coffee! I wish him nothing but the best!”
Sree Potlola
Senior Software Engineer
"Anyone who knows Dan will agree that he is one of a kind and a truly remarkable human being. He is a thoughtful and visionary designer and leader. Dan is passionate about being a designer, which shows in his consistent, high-quality, creative work. Our team loves working with him, not only because of his professionalism but also because of his illuminating spirit. He is the ultimate champion for the product, his co-workers, and his customers. He is talented in persuasively proposing original ideas while actively seeking feedback from co-workers and end-users. If you are lucky enough to meet with him, you'll undoubtedly say to yourself: "Wow, this dude is awesome; we have to have him!". I can only hope that when that happens, he will be already on my team, and you can't have him ;-)"

Carolyn Eames
Customer Success Lead CCSMP
"Dan is an exceptional Senior UX Designer who is both a fantastic person and a highly proficient professional. His design skills are exceptional, and his collaborative approach and excellent problem-solving skills make him a valuable asset to any team. I have had the pleasure of working with Dan on several projects, and he has consistently impressed me with his attention to detail, collaborative approach, and excellent problem-solving skills.
I would highly recommend Dan to anyone looking for a talented, empathetic, and collaborative UX designer who is passionate about creating user-friendly designs."
Scott Shirk
Senior UX-UI Designer
"I worked with Dan for five years at Label Insight. During my time as Product Manager, my team did not have a dedicated designer and would instead do a weekly call with the design team and request design support as needed. Despite having his own team's design workload, Dan offered us his help and expertise countless times to ensure that my team's top deliverables had the design input and feedback we needed. He quickly identified the right questions about our users and platform, and created mocks on short timelines. This allowed our team to move quickly and build great products even with limited resources."
Alexis Yezbick
Product Manager
"Dan is an exceptional designer, mentor, leader, and human. I never worked in a more supportive, collaborative, honest, open, and kind environment, and Dan definitely set that standard and lead by example. He made everyone feel like a valuable member of the team, and I always felt heard and respected by him."
Zoë Han
Product Designer
"I really enjoyed working with Dan. He and I worked on the same cross functional team at Label Insight where he was the designer and I was the product manager. Dan is excellent at gathering customer feedback and distilling it down to feature designs that solve real problems. He is extremely receptive to design feedback and a fantastic collaborator. Dan shows incredible passion for his work and will be an asset in his next position."
