Testimonials 

  • “I love our final design and I loved working with Dave. He was extremely helpful and gracious as I
    worked to clarify my needs for the design, and then once we knew where we headed, he was absolutely
    dogged in his determination to get us there. I know he went above and beyond in the time and effort
    he put in, and I am very grateful for it.”

    - Anna Olivia Moore – Parenthesis Theater – NYC
  • “He would listen closely for what the client wanted, and then make sure he delivered a quality product.  Deadlines
    were never an issue for Dave because he always beat them.” 

    - Joe Schmit – KSTP – Minneapolis
  • “Besides excellent design, Dave brings a broad perspective and life maturity to bear that is unquestionably difficult
    to find in the design world.  He’s done fantastic work for two venture backed start-ups I’ve been involved with,
    and delivered the same quality to Provide Commerce (ProFlowers, RedEnvelope, and more) when I was there.
    He is candid, efficient, easy to work with, and if you haven’t spoken to him, I highly recommend a conversation. “

    - Jake Burns  – ProFlowers – San Diego
