Welcome! I’m Dan Singer, a designer & researcher. It is my goal to discover design opportunities by engaging deeply with real people about what they love and know. I believe that truly creative insights come from a dialogue between a wide array of ideas and values, and it is good design that brings those into conversation.

My background is in ethnomusicology and anthropology, practiced through long-term ethnographic research projects with experts in domains like collegiate bhangra and Appalachian old-time music. By exploring musical encounters through an ethnographic lens, I strive to better our understanding of how people creatively build identity through performance.

If you have an exciting project or an interesting problem, I'd love to chat about it! Feel free to reach out over email.
