Hey there, I'm Dan.

Hi, I'm Dan Bellia.

I'm a senior product designer at Flock Safety, where I own design for FlockOS and the core map experience used by thousands of communities. Over 15 years I've worked across public safety, data and AI — at Axon, Fivetran and Filmic — after starting out in industrial design.

I grew up in Seattle and graduated from the California College of the Arts (CCA) in San Francisco, where I studied industrial design. While I will always enjoy designing hardware, the software world quickly captured my attention and I pivoted accordingly. As such, I’ve since spent the last 15yrs of my career pursuing the best research, iteration, and design methodologies possible - shipping everything from features and design systems to full-blown software products across a variety of industries.  ​

Outside of work, my wife and I spend our time juggling our two boys (2 and 4yrs), MTBing, snowboarding and ski touring. Time permitting, I do still find myself building physical things, like the home office pod you might see me working in (on camera) or the camper van I retrofitted for our family adventures throughout the PNW.   ​ I take a great deal of pride in being father and maintaining a healthy work/life balance - it’s a huge part of why we live here in Bend. But I also work to ensure that everything I research, iterate on and ship is extremely high in quality; solving real problems with understood results.

The projects here are just a glimpse into my professional experience, glossy representations of extremely dense bodies of work.  ​ I’d love to tell you more about the problems, processes and outcomes - please hit me up if you’d like to chat, grab a beer or cruise through a case study or two.  ​ Cheers!
