What others are saying
Rob Gillham
Design Lead, Moody's Corporation
David is a true design all-rounder and there's very few people I say that about. He's not constrained by dogmatic attachment to any particular approach: he can produce pixel-perfect, beautiful designs and prototypes, but the next minute he's able to flip and produce lo-fi wobbly-lined sketches with engineers to draw out the functional nitty gritty of how something complex has to work.
Jamie Lovelace
Lead Product Designer, Anything is Possible
I worked alongside David for 2 years, he was pivotal to creating and setting up teams to maintain the design system, all whilst working on various product work at the same time! David is a good team player and good fun to work with! His exceptional ability to balance strategic design leadership with hands-on execution helped establish robust design processes that I bet continue to benefit the team to this day.
Kathie Wu
Senior Engineer, Depop
During my time working with David, he took creative lead on a number of high-profile projects. His responsibilities included speaking and presenting to high-profile clients, gather business requirements and understanding client needs, creating personas and writing user stories, wireframing ideas and developing them into high-fidelity prototypes, working and most of the time leading our development team to turn these into beautiful websites.
Anastasija Dvorjanova
Product Manager, Starling Bank
David's remarkable flexibility in the face of shifting timelines, and his ability to adapt quickly to last-minute changes, made him an invaluable asset to our team and a joy to collaborate with on projects. David's unique blend of technical expertise, client-focused approach, and personal integrity make him a rare find in the field of product design.
Stefanie Naumann
Senior Product Manager, Bondaval
David took the lead on key initiatives such as accessibility and standardising design patterns, which not only ensured a consistent user experience but also improved the overall efficiency and productivity of internal teams. David is an exceptionally skilled Senior UX Designer, and any team that has the opportunity to work with him will greatly benefit from his expertise and collaborative spirit.
Chelsy Davy
Managing Director, AYA Jewels
David played a key role in defining our design language and also found classy and efficient ways to solve complex interaction and visual design problems left by our previous designer. David was able to build rapid prototypes for user testing and high quality designs in a quick and iterative fashion. He worked closely with our Product Manager to ensure all the features were designed and built to a high standard.
