Biography —

David brings more than a decade of cross-functional leadership in design, engineering, and strategy, spanning a diverse range of industries including branding, advertising, media, luxury, and SaaS.

Equally comfortable in C-suite level conversations as he is discussing the practical needs with engineers, David is a true end-to-end creative. His unique interdisciplinary approach combines a deep understanding of aesthetics and functionality of both digital and physical products with tangible business results.

The greatest traits you can find in a collaborator are passion, creativity, and flexibility. David has them all, and it makes it a pleasure to work with him.

He helped some of my wildest and wackiest ideas come to life, oversaw large scale projects that moved the needle for both our marketing team and the entire company, and always injected his own sense of brand and design into everything we do.

His abilities stretch across ideation, coding, and imagery. A multi-talented brand designer who has a much broader impact and skillset than his title implies.
