Hello. I'm Dave.
I've worked as a creative for about 6 years years, fortunately for places like Glue, AKQA, Work Club, Saint and RKCYR.
Apparently I’m one of these new 'hybrid creatives', which means I can work in any medium while under the sea - something agencies require more and more.
If you like my work and would like to work with me, please get in touch.

Thanks a lot.
