Hi, I'm Dave, an industrial designer with over 15 yrs of experience taking products from concept through production.
I am a user-centric designer, focused on creating inclusive, empathetic forward-thinking solutions.
My approach goes beyond aesthetics. I pride myself on delivering concepts centered around real pain points, and delivering products that matter.
Originally from the UK, I've been living and working in the U.S. for over 15 years. My joys include family, swimming, innovative art, music, discovering hidden local spots, and making things.
