Hi, I'm Denny.

I am a hands-on Digital Product Designer & Director, with a track record of helping impact-driven companies launch and grow. I’ve played an early role in shaping the following organizations:


Galileo Health

Director of Product Design

2018 – Present

At Galileo I work alongside a dream team of innovators (led by Tom Lee, former founder/CEO of One Medical) to improve the quality & affordability of medical care for all. Joining as the founding product designer, I’ve grown with the organization from a team of 15 to over 500.

I have contributed on multiple fronts: launching our brand in collboration with Gin Lane, our patient-facing apps on iOS & Android, and an extensive suite of internal tools spanning clinical workflows, administrative task management, coding, billing, and automation.

As the organization has grown, I've built out our design team with both full-time employees and contractors—establishing a career ladder, hiring at multiple levels, and coaching team members to grow in their roles. Today, Galileo is available to millions of patients nationwide: in home, in our clinics, and digitally.

Architizer

Design Director

2016 – 2018

Previously an editorial and events business, I joined Architizer at an inflection point to launch our first B2B marketplace product.

I led a cross-functional team of product designers, brand designers, and frontend engineers to launch an online marketplace that empowered architects to source innovative and sustainable building materials.

In 2017, our marketplace was trusted by some of the world’s most renowned architecture firms (Bjarke Engels, David Adjaye, Gensler, Perkins&Will, etc.) to place products in 534 buildings across 19 countries. Architizer was acquired by Material Bank in 2023.

Hillary For America

Product Design Lead

2015 – 2016

In 2015, I joined Hillary For America as the campaign's first product designer. During the primary election, I led a talented team of volunteer designers from across the country, before staffing our in-house team for the general election.

Over 16 months, working tirelessly seven days a week, we designed and build custom software that empowered every aspect of the campaign—from voter registration and volunteer organizing to events and donations. Together, we launched 42 applications, helped raise $960 million, and contributed to earning 66 million votes—the 2nd most in US history at the time.

charity: water

Product Design Lead

2012 – 2015

When I joined charity: water as the organization’s first product designer they were already widely recognized for excellence in storytelling, installations and events.

This was during the early days of online crowd-funding and our team set out to create a best-in-class platform for grassroots campaigning. Together, we launched my.charitywater.org an industry-defining product that reimagined how individuals could fundraise and connect with the impact of their efforts.

While focused on fundraiser experience, donor experience, and impact reporting—our team's work ultimately helped provide sustainable water solutions for more than 5M people in 22 countries.
