Dylan Hafertepen's Email Addresses & Phone Numbers

📖 Summary

I've developed complex web applications, interactive data visualizations, and designed everything from business cards to user experiences. I have a proven formula for functional design and practical innovation, and will gladly share my experience. I am happiest working in a fast-paced, data-driven environment, and as part of a team where my work contributes to our success. Creating products that people will use is a passion of mine and the process is something I enjoy as much as the result. If you are looking for a dedicated, creative, team-player, we should talk.
