I’m Dan Juris, the Design Director for Collaborations and Licensing at Crocs. I have a background in performing arts, but have been designing footwear, accessories, apparel, UI/UX, graphics, and more in all global markets for well over a decade. While design fuels my creativity, my true passion is in collaboration. I believe that we can learn so much from each other, and I thrive on the exchange of ideas that fosters both creative and cultural growth. I’m excited to continue exploring innovative partnerships and pushing the boundaries of design. I’m now pursuing my Master of Science in Integrated Design, Business & Technology (MSIDBT) at USC’s Iovine and Young Academy — diving deeper into how emerging technologies like AI will redefine how teams create, communicate, and lead. My goal is to stay at the forefront of this shift — helping brands, designers, and innovators use technology not as a tool, but as a creative partner.
