For almost 30 years

I've been a designer

When you bring me on board, you’re getting more than someone who checks tasks off a list. You’re getting a partner who’s genuinely invested in making your vision shine.

I start by getting curious. What are we trying to achieve? How should people feel when they interact with your product? What actually matters to your users? Those answers shape everything we build, because great design isn’t just about looking good. It’s about working beautifully.

I’ve worked with everyone from solo founders to large, multi-million dollar companies across a wide range of budgets and timelines. No matter the size of the project, the goal is always the same: create something thoughtful, effective, and built to last.

Web & ux design

I like to get my hands dirty in the best way. That means digging into research, understanding your audience, and focusing on what actually works, not just what looks trendy. I’ll help you choose the right tools, analyze your competition, and see how people are really using your current experience.

From there, we build something purposeful. Structure, content, and visual design come together to create a site that feels right, performs well, and is accessible and SEO-friendly from the start.

And once your site is live, I stick around to track performance, make improvements, and help it grow right along with your business.

Graphic Design

This is your brand. Your first impression. Your “this is who we are” moment.

Whether you need a logo, a full identity system, or something in between, I’ll work with you to create design that actually feels like you. Not something pulled from a template or churned out by generic AI.

The goal is simple: thoughtful, original design that connects with people and gives your business a confident, memorable presence.

What people are saying

Dave is a wonderful UX design partner. When I first transitioned into UX content design, Dave was the first UX designer I worked with, and I learned so much about design thinking from him. His designs are thoughtful and meticulous; you can tell how much care he puts into every detail. On top of that, he’s just an incredibly nice human to work with. Great interpersonal skills across different teams, functional areas, stakeholders, etc.

- Katie H. UX content Designer

Dave is the kind of designer that leads the design process (end-to-end) driven by customer insight and design principles. And he does it all with a cool head and a warm heart. An extremely skilled practitioner, Dave thinks about the user, stakeholders, and his collaborators simultaneously every step of the way, juggling competing forces with grace and ease. A catalyst for trust and team cohesion, he will make everyone around him a better designer and create an environment where you are genuinely excited to come to work every day.

- Danielle H. UX content Designer

Working with Dave at Thomson Reuters was a real delight. As an accessibility professional you're often evangelizing the benefits of accessible design but Dave was onboard before I even finished my pitch. Accessibility was already part of his design DNA. He's laser focused on excellent user experiences and is a true collaborator, willing to dig deep into a design to scrap what isn't working and graciously defend what is. I learned a ton from our exchanges, especially how to use to design to balance technological limitations and competing priorities. He's also just a kind and generous human who appreciates a terrible dad joke.

- Lauren T. Sr. Accessibility Specialist

Dave and I worked in the same design portfolio for over two years, and headed several large projects together. To say he is a great designer would be an understatement. Not only does he approach ideas/challenges from multiple angles, he also brings experienced insight, open minded adaptability, and most of all empathy to his work. It was one of the best experiences I have ever had as a designer, and any company lucky enough to have him aboard will quickly see the elevated team experience, and overwhelming passion he brings to his to his work.

- Luke D. UX Designer

Dave is an excellent designer who is creative and dedicated to working with the needs of clients or co-workers on any given project. He takes pride in his work and always communicates well during the creative process and development in order to deliver key results on time. He is an outstanding team player and leader who is a valuable part of the team because he offers ideas and solutions. I would work with him again in a heart beat!

- Rachel L. Small business Owner

Dave is a skilled designer. He centers the customer and asks the tough questions to find the best possible solution. He is also a great mentor to less experienced designers, sharing examples from other projects he has worked on and seeing inconsistencies and opportunities for improvement and innovations across the team. He is also fun to work with and a great team player. I am confident he will be an asset to any organization lucky enough to have him.
