I make stuff

Danny Vigil, Designer.

I help shape products and lead design teams for both nimble startups and large-scale enterprises with a global presence, building technology that powers complex digital experiences at scale.

Over the past decade my work has been focused on simplifying and modernizing global travel technology, particularly across point-of-sale applications, booking APIs, and airline content systems. I designed solutions that navigate the complexity of multiple supplier sources, distribution models, and regional requirements; leading high-impact initiatives that improved content parity, enabled new product innovation, and reduced reliance on legacy systems.

Building in the Age of AI

An AI travel concierge that combines real flight and hotel booking with personality-driven trip research and planning - all through natural conversation

Nomadist

Web App

An iPhone health app. Managing chronic health isn't about sudden improvement, it's about maintaining balance; medications, labs and a record of care over time.

SteadyState

iOS App

These two projects represent something more than side work. They are a deliberate attempt to understand what product design looks like when the execution barrier is removed.

SteadyState and Nomadist were built without engineering teams, without sprints, and without handoffs. Each one went from concept to live product in under three weeks. What made that possible was not only the AI; it was having twenty years of product design and UX experience to direct it. The AI generated the code. As the designer I decided what to build, why it mattered, and when the output wasn't good enough.

That distinction is the point. As AI compresses the distance between idea and product, the highest-leverage skill in any team is no longer the ability to execute; rather it is the judgment to know what is worth executing.

Inspire Me!

A travel platform that helps hotels, attractions, and destinations connect with, engage, and convert travelers.

Born and raised in Denver, I’m a proud graduate of the University of Colorado, Denver, with 20+ years in the design world. My passion for design started early, creating digital experiences for leading corporate and consumer brands. I’ve seen UX design evolve into the essential discipline it is today and remain dedicated to using thoughtful, user-centered processes to build impactful solutions

I’m a lifelong learner with a healthy dose of curiosity. When I’m not designing, you’ll find me behind a camera, in the garden, or experimenting with a new recipe. I hold strong opinions on craft, but I’m always open to a better idea.
