My journey began with skateboarding, which sparked my interest in video editing and taught me the art of visual storytelling. This passion evolved into a career in graphic design and marketing, where I use imagery and typography to connect with people, evoke emotions, and convey compelling messages.
Beyond design, I’m a calm and grounded individual who values mental well-being. As an advocate for mental health, yoga, and meditation, I bring a mindful approach to my work, blending creativity with focus and intention. I use my life experiences to fuel my creativity whether I’m immersed in design, working out, at car shows, or on a skateboard. While years of manual labor initially stifled my creative expression, my artistic spirit eventually guided me back to where I thrive—crafting designs that resonate with others.
Hi, I’m Dave—a mindful designer and creative problem solver with a knack for turning ideas into impactful visuals.
