About me

I love making things for humans to see, feel and hear. I’ve been told I’m a good listener with great empathy. Through that lens, I have spent much of my career understanding and shaping how I(we) might contribute to the greater good through purposeful and authentic experiences. At least that’s always been my goal.

I started my career many years ago in graphic design and never looked back. Starting in print and quickly adopting digital in the late 90s, I moved into agency life working for various advertising and marketing agencies such as Fallon and Risdall. Having served as a Creative Director for many years, I shifted my focus to the experience (UX) craft in the mid-2000s and found my true north. Spring forward to 2024, I’m now looking for my next adventure in some form of product leadership, strategy, design and/or research where I can contribute, collaborate and ultimately create value for both users and businesses to improve the user experience. I am also passionate about managing and mentoring the future makers and thinkers of our unique craft.

I’m a father and partner living in Minneapolis with our two cats, one Shiba Inu and, too many vinyl records.

Professional and personal interests:
Service Design, Experiential and Environmental Design, Letterpress Printing, Screen Printing, Cycling and Running (slowly)

Kind words

“David has shown strong leadership skills in helping me navigate what to do and how to accomplish tasks that were uncomfortable. I was never comfortable presenting to the client, let alone lead a meeting on my own, but with David's guidance and expertise, I was able to accomplish these tasks with minimal help and have grown in my presentation skills and gained more knowledge in how to interact with clients.”

David is always tuned into emotions—especially the clients—to make sure the deliverables are attentive to the needs and the story and requirements of the project. Everyone always enjoys working and collaborating with David.”
