About Me
DESIGNER & ART DIRECTOR
My Intro
I'm David, I'm a creative with 8 years of experience creating useful, strategic, and engaging design for brands that need their stories told effectively.
My Background
I graduated with a BA in Advertising from Bradley University in 2017 and have worked across dozens of industries both in-house and at agencies. I've been working full time in Chicago since the beginning of my career and began freelancing in 2021.
My Philosophy
I believe that design is first and foremost a method of problem solving by communication. Design that does not communicate cannot be effective; it cannot solve problems, it cannot speak to your audience, it can only waste time.
