About

This is my face. There are many like it but this one is mine.

Hello. My name is Daniel Eden, and I’m a designer.

I’m also blessed with the curiosity and brainpower to execute my ideas through code. In other words, I do a little development as well. Right now, I’m studying Digital Media Technology at Nottingham Trent University. I’m in my final year of study, due to graduate in July.

I grew up in Manchester, and I’m currently living in Nottingham. I’m working hard to find a job I love. You can view my résumé, if you’re into that sort of thing.

I say a lot of things on Twitter. I show off my design work-in-progress on Dribbble. You can subscribe to my updates on Facebook, take a look at my photos on my photo blog, take a listen to my musical preferences on Rdio, listen to music I’ve made myself on SoundCloud, and endorse me on Zerply. I also write a lot of code and put it on GitHub. Sometimes, I write more thought-out and refined posts about my thoughts and experiences. You can find those on Medium.

If you want to talk about design, my work, or what I had for breakfast, you can email me at [email protected]
