Hi, I'm Dan Bellia.
- 15yr+ Experience
- Bend, OR
- Father of 2
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.
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 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 reach out if you’d like to chat, grab a beer or cruise through some case studies. Cheers!
