The Story of ME
2001 – I began exploring graphic design in college.
2004 – My love of collaboration and story took me to the graphic novel field as a writer and later editor and art director.
2011 – After scriptwriting for years, I returned to college to pursue my fondness for anthropology.
2015 – At Splitpeak design I worked my way up from junior designer to become our lead interaction designer and was soon promoted to project manager alongside product designer.
2018 – Packaged my UX experience on larger budget projects for small businesses to help them reach their goals and create a functioning plan for the future.
Where I am now
Looking for new challenges to expand my skill set as well as hone my craft in an environment where I can combine my fondness for collaboration and my 8+ years’ experience in gathering and translating user data into attention-getting actionable design solutions.

CHRISTIAN BAEREND
“I can not speak highly enough of David and his work. It has been a fantastic experience collaborating with him. David helped to design and create our small law firm’s website years ago… he is able to explain technical issues in a way that a layperson can understand. Our website turned out beautifully and ranks highly for performance.”
