The man behind the screen

Hello.

I’m David. I build focused, high performing, tight-knit design teams that deliver exceptional digital products and media experiences for our clients.

My approach is creative, deductive, and very hands-on, relying on coaching, empowerment and inclusiveness to get everyone performing at their best. I like exploring new problem spaces, creating intuitive solutions for innovative technologies, and raising the bar when it comes to craft and professionalism as well as the experience we’re offering to our users. My experience covers responsive web, mobile and web apps, and desktop platforms.
