About Dan Bernitt
I see how systems shape behavior, whether that\'s marketing funnels, organizational culture, performance dramaturgy, instructional design, or process design. Then, I redesign the system.Career proof: Scaled team 50% while improving culture. Drove 330% conversion increases through optimization. Created custom solutions (mobile apps & tracking systems using APIs) when off-the-shelf tools couldn\'t solve enrollment and engagement challenges.Artistic practice: Since 2004, toured original solo performance work internationally across Dublin, New York, Minneapolis, Chicago, and beyond. Robert Chesley Award winner. Two-time Lambda Literary Award finalist. Work positioned in queer theater scholarship alongside Holly Hughes, Tim Miller, and Luis Alfaro.
