The portfolio of Daniel Schutzsmith
Hello there!
Daniel Schutzsmith is a rare breed – a hybrid of equal parts design, code, strategy, and management.
Currently, Daniel is the Website and Digital Project Manager for Pinellas County Government, creating websites and interactive experiences to help the public get the information they need easily and intuitively.
When not working, he enjoys giving back his time to the WordPress community as a WordCamp organizer (WCUS 20, WC Miami 2020, WC NYC 2018), a Meetup organizer (New Port Richey WordPress Meetup), a Producer at The WP Minute and also through building several side projects:
WP Live Streams Directory
An online calendar of live streams from the WordPress community across YouTube, Facebook Live, Twitter Spaces, Twitch, Zoom, and more.
WP Developers Toolbox
Online directory showcasing the best tools, apps, plugins and themes to help you become a skilled developer / builder with WordPress in one place.

Twitter Spaces
Bi-weekly Twitter Spaces series where we “talk about the human side of WordPress”, co-hosted with WordPress NYC Meetup organizer Winstina Hughes.
Over the past twenty-two years Daniel has worked with clients such as Adobe, Greenpeace, The Pixies, MTV, Phish, Nelson Mandela Foundation, Oxfam, PBS, NYC.gov, They Might Be Giants, TBS, Pepsico, Dave Matthews Band and many more. Previously he also taught at NYU SCPS, SUNY New Paltz, Westchester Community College, and the School of Visual Arts.
After all of that, in his free time he enjoys walking in the fresh air, coding by the pool, drinking craft non-alcoholic beer, and hanging out with his family.
