Working With Me

I find it hard to talk about myself so I'll let some of the folks I've worked with help me out. One of my core values in working relationships is quality communication and collaboration.

"I really appreciate how open and generous David has been with his time and knowledge... He's always willing to make time for a meeting or a working session and I appreciate it big time."

—Coworker (Design)

One of my strengths is my ability to coordinate and collaborate with other disciplines to support everyones success.

"[David] is great at the "why" for the designs. This comes in handy in sprint planning with all the devs asking a lot of whys for the design we're looking at. His knowledge of the design and understanding in how coding and MUI come together are very powerful which adds to his ability to communicate effectively to myself and other devs."

—Coworker (Developer)

As a designer I have a meticulus eye for details. I enhance that focus with big picture systems thinking and incorporating design research and data to deliver real impact to users and business objectives.

"David always keeps the end user in mind, displaying a depth of empathy that results in product features that are truly human-centered."
