Commercial Portfolio Hello. I'm Dan, and I'm currently the Digital Marketing & Creative Manager at Oxford Companies, Ann Arbor's largest commercial real estate company. I believe the success of any creative project stems from fostering close collaboration between everyone involved.
What I Do:
Creative direction, web development, graphic design, digital marketing, brand identity, copywriting, print & digital advertising, photo & video.
The Oxford Book
What can be said about Ann Arbor's largest commercial real estate
company? Quite a bit. The Oxford Book was the most comprehensive
project I've completed at Oxford. I handled all aspects of the
book's design, layout and some of the copywriting. I still can't
belive that it's actually done.

I didn’t expect my first React project to be a client website,
but I had the chance and went for it. This was a fun one. Got to
teach myself more about Router, APIs, scroll anchoring, form
handling and lots (and lots) of useState. I think the only
downside to React is that I can’t use it more often.
P.S. I did not design this site.

In 2022, I proposed a complete redesign to a few page on the
Oxford site. The goal? Drive leads and make navigation as simple
as possible. Maybe give people something nice to look at, too. I
continue to work closely with my colleagues to update and redesign
existing content, create new pages and optimize the user
experience.

Digital & Print Advertising
Yes. It's true. Oxford used to use Futura PT. I take full
responsibility, and I think I finally made up for it.

Discover our America
Remember subscription boxes? I used to do copywriting for one of
them. If you ever subscribed to Discover our America, then you
undoubetedly remember receiving an exciting U.S. state themed box
every month. It was mostly filled with old food, but the hidden
gem was a booklet with a unique narrative on that month's state. I
think I wrote 16 of those books. My favorite state was Arkansas. I
can't remember why. One of these booklets is linked below.
