David is a great director. He worked on my team for several years leading well – always bringing fresh ideas to the table. Not only can he create big ideas – he can bring them to life.

CRAIG BURZYNSKI

Manager of Creative Services

Conifer Health Solutions

“Big ideas” is the first thing that comes to mind when I think of David. His passion for elevating projects and ideas, all while coming up with creative solutions and approaches in doing so, is what makes David tick. Not only was he a wonderful designer, but I was always struck with how much passion he brought to each project, always coming up with big ideas and unique approaches.

GAIL KANTOR

Co-Founder

eJamming Inc

We found David when eJamming was under a tremendous time crunch. He had to quickly grasp numerous technological and usability requirements of three different teams while also satisfying the sensibilities of the co-founders. Without David’s organizational and communication skills, our goals would not have been adequately met. You discover a lot about people when they’re under pressure. David’s a leader.
