Bio
Noah Waldman
I worked with David on a number of projects and can attest to his creativity and skill in graphic design. Beyond just "what looks good," he understands how visuals work as a system to convey information. His work clearly and cleanly communicates a brand or product's values, tones, and/or benefits - with or without accompanying copy. He also has a great sense of humor and taste in television!
Alexander Bayer
I’ve had the pleasure of working with David across countless projects. He continuously impresses me with his ability to produce such high-quality work, within relatively short periods of time. When working with him you also quickly realize that he is incredibly knowledgeable on the tech space and industry trends. He possesses a true understanding of the creative process and even more importantly, is a great communicator with all team members. Any future employers are getting a creative gem with David on their team.
