I worked with Dan Berg for four years while at Shea Design and during that time he was a pivotal piece in my development and growth as a designer and a person. He was an exceptional strategic thinker and communicator who led his teams by example and thrived in teaching others. He set a high bar for design, resulting in projects that not only looked fantastic but he truly understood the unique goals of a project and taught me how to understand and dissect design challenges to create unique and distinct design solutions that enhanced our clients’ businesses

Dan Berg consulted with our team during the design development of Toma Mojo Grill. His ability to quickly understand our goals for the design, our vision for the brand, and how guests will interact with the space all while considering our shoestring budget was invaluable for finalizing design decisions. He truly came into the conversations as a partner, asked the right questions, and helped us look at things from all angles so we could confidently make decisions that support the brand and our business the best way possible. I recommend him without any hesitation to all my colleagues in the restaurant and hospitality industry.

Dan possesses a rare combination of skills. He has a keen sense for how to bring a brand to life in the retail space. It’s not just design, it’s understanding how all the elements work together to make an environment feel right and function as needed. Perhaps most importantly, he’s able to communicate effectively with the diverse groups involved from the client-side to custom fabricators and in between.

Daniel was often the go to design resource among his peers especially for larger and more complex projects. Dan quickly discovered and deciphered the needs of our customers. In addition, he often suggested a new product opportunity and then brought the concept to life through inspiring images.
Dan and the team were awarded Design and Utility patents for the new Inliten system. This new product line generated over 1 million dollars in sales after the first year.
Dan demonstrated a strong spatial understanding and he could articulate the thoughts behind his work. The combination of tenacity, creative problem solving, and good communications skills found in Mr. Berg is truly unique

Talent, experience, creativity and ownership all come to mind. It has been my great pleasure over the last decade to have Dan as a collaborator and creative force behind several important projects we have undertaken for our clients and internal business units here at Aramark. Dan’s creative direction of the design team at Shea has been insightful and always accommodating of our many needs and the demands of our clients. Under Dan, the Shea team has been a leading provider of the engaging and game changing design solutions we have both sought and expected. I can truly say that having Dan as a collaborator has helped move our brand forward and also been personally fulfilling.

Daniel and I worked together at John Ryan for a few years. We had the opportunity to work together on a few projects there, and I found Daniel had an excellent knack for making that third dimension O so sweet. He is a ‘big picture’ thinker with an amazing attention to detail, which isn’t as trite as it sounds. Now, as a small business person ‘representing’ as a full-service agency, I sometimes depend on Daniel’s conceptualization and technical skills to help sell in projects I would otherwise be hard-pressed to attempt.
