Selected Recommendations

Dave is my go-to guy when I get stumped with a technical issue, have design overflow, or just need help in general. I love the fact that I can hand him a job and he comes back with great work requiring no hand holding. Without him, I'd have been sunk a couple of times.

Jef Tyler

Sr. Interactive Art Director at VMware

What a true professional Dave is. When clients inevitably request change after change (after change) to their designs, Dave turns out beautiful work - even on very short notice - every time. I love working with him.

Jeff Anderson

Program Manager

Dave is a talented, professional UX designer with great skills for analyzing needs and a sharp eye for reducing complexity. In the time I worked with Dave I learned a tremendous amount about how to break a task down to its most basic form—and sometimes even leave it there. He also has strong aesthetic sense and great personal style that he can bring out when direction is lacking. Dave works hard to help both customers and colleagues find the real goal hidden in the requirements, and he's an invaluable advocate for the user. I would gladly work with Dave again given the chance.

Shane Cyr

Sr. Product Manager

As a Senior User Experience Designer, David provided excellent support and turn around time for visualizing new design concepts. David takes the time to know his design goals and experience outcome. He is one of the most creative designers I have worked with and his work was critical for winning sales campaigns at IBM, GM, Audi, and others. I would certainly welcome working with David again.

Nestor Dizon

Director of Sales at Success4

This guy is infinitely more creative than I will ever be. When you see conceptual designs from Dave, I'd say the most frequent response to emerge is 'That is amazing! When could we do that?' The typical answer to that is 'Now.' This is the kind of designer that shapes the future by creating cutting-edge interactivity but in simple, realistic, usable fashion. He keeps himself self-educated and up to speed with current design trends while thinking three steps ahead. Dave has a keen understanding of what customers and end users want and need, and how to make that a reality without over-complicating or succumbing to whim, and combines this with a genuine understanding of the business goals involved. When you want the job done better than you expected, chuck it over to Dave and get ready to be impressed.
