02.   Daniel Kuo Consulting 04/10 - present

In the spring of 2010 I began independently consulting with clients both large and small—from a startup looking for their initial funding, to a large multi-national corporation looking to redefine their next generation of products. I have contributed to design strategy, generated interaction wireframes, and delivered detailed visual interfaces.

Cooper 01/05 - 03/10

As a Senior Design Consultant, I developed visual strategies for our clients’ products and executed on them to create persona-based, user-centered interfaces. Working as an integral part of the interaction design team, I saw the design through from start to finish; beginning with user research and ending with detailed pixel specifications in a visual style guide.

Adspace Networks Inc. 04/03 - 12/04

In my role as Motion Graphics Designer I designed and produced broadcast-quality content for the CoolSign media system—a network of high definition plasma screens placed in theaters, retail locations, and other venues. In addition my visual design responsibilities, I also served as the primary user testing resource for the development of proprietary content creation software.
