Fe gydsefydlodd Dan May Painting Practice am fod cyfuno byd yr adran gelf ag effeithiau gweledol yn ddyhead sy'n agos iawn at ei galon.

Mae Dan hefyd yn hoffi Animeiddio. Yn 2014, fe gafodd y cyfle i fod yn Ddylunydd Cynhyrchiad gyda Passion Pictures ar hysbyseb pum munud Cwpan y Byd Nike - "The Last Game". Os nad yw'n syllu ar sgrîn cyfrifiadur mae fel arfer yn syrffio, yn crwydro neu’n paffio.

Dros y blynyddoedd mae Dan wedi bod yn llwyddiannus drwy gael ei enwebu ar gyfer Bafta am ddylunio cynhyrchiad ar gyfer Black Mirror, ac fe enillodd Bafta am y VFX gorau am ei waith ar Day of the Triffids, a Gwobr Art Directors Guild am ei waith ar Gravity.
