I had the pleasure of working closely with Dan Villanueva on several projects, and I can confidently say that he is a highly skilled and dedicated professional. Dan's ability to think critically and find innovative solutions to complex problems is truly impressive. He consistently demonstrates strong leadership qualities and excellent communication skills, which greatly contribute to the success of any team he is a part of. It's been a privilege collaborating with Dan, and I highly recommend him to any organization seeking a talented and motivated individual.

It was a privilege to work alongside Dan at The Charles Group. He consistently impressed me with his dedication, professionalism, and exceptional skills in project management. Dan's role was pivotal in steering numerous high-stakes website projects toward success. His adeptness in managing milestones, navigating technical solutions, and coordinating teams across both development and design was instrumental in our achievements at TCG. Dan was a valuable team member and a great person to work alongside, always ready to lend a hand, collaborate effectively, and jump on a late-night Google Meet when a deadline needed to be met. He would be a tremendous asset to any team or organization. I highly recommend him without hesitation.

Dan is simply amazing at wearing multiple hats within a given instance. When I worked with him at Lovage, in one day, he would be managing roles of being a design consultant, a creative director on a website, and a team member on any client production (website or video). He has done a stellar job at acquiring a multi-dimensional tool kit to flourish in all aspects of the design process from inception to shipping, including website UI/UX work, Photography, Videography, content writing, and editing, and social media. In Dan, you will find a one-stop-shop for design or curiosity for learning that will help him tackle anything you throw at him.

Dan is the model for effortless collaboration. I had the honor of working with him on several projects over the years and I was repeatedly blown away by his ability to both understand and solve problems. Dan’s knack for organizing and expressing the details of a project are invaluable during the creative process. I also have complete trust in his ability to interpret, expand upon, and execute creative direction. On top of it all, Dan is a joy to work with. His poise under pressure and seemingly infinite patience are aspirational.

Dan began doing freelance work for me when Lovage was just a babe in its infancy. Growing with the company over the years, I watched him blossom into a self-managed producer who was able to handle clients and tasks directly while often developing solutions and new ideas in order to meet or surpass goals. He has a great attitude, is terrific with clients, and eager to expand his skillset, as needed, to accommodate updates in the constantly-evolving online (and creative industry, at large) space.
