D&AD award winning creative with 20+yrs of experience in graphic design, UI/UX design & prototyping, global branding, SaaS product innovation.
D&AD award winning creative with a track record spanning the last 22 years. Started running my first creative design agency at the age of 20, pushing the boundaries of video and animation for web, with main clients such and the BBC in London.
Over the years, I have gone on to be involved in further entrepreneurship by running several design agencies with clients worldwide, running a global in-house corporate design team and also involed in multiple tech start-ups.
Today, specialising in the UI/UX design and development of SaaS products along with continued graphic design and marketing support for companies around the world.
Currently located in Helsinki, with an eye on moving abroad in search of new challenges, cultures and sunshine! I’d say I’m meticulous in style with a relaxed and upbeat personality. Never without a pen and pad...

Vice President, Product Strategy & Innovation
Coupa Software
What the 'Boss' thought...
"David has been the design extension of my brain ever since we
started working together on building Koble. His ability to understand
the problem, challenge initial designs and take the solution to
production ready for developers to code is second to none.
And while his product related design skills are to be commended,
so are his general creative design skills. From formulating brand
guidelines to articulating product portfolios, David has the eyes and
attention to details to make the company shine.
I will continue working with David in the future and highly recommend
him to anyone in need of leadership and hands on design capabilities.""
Director Of Engineering
Coupa Software
What the 'CTO' thought...
"I’ve worked with David for over five years, I can honestly say he
is one of the best UI/UX designers I have ever met. He really
understands the usability and requirements of the product and
magically brings them alive with the most artistic UI’s I have ever
seen.
Also as a person, he is the most likeable character and really easy to
work with. It has really been privileged to work with a guy like him.""
Director of Product
Varis
What the 'PRODUCT MANAGER' thought...
"David is an incredibly fast learner with the ability to quickly adapt to
the environment and projects he is given the opportunity to work on.
He, also, always helps elevate the thinking around a UX challenge
posed and helps bring simple and elegant solutions for them.
Lastly, but not least in any regards, he is a natural leader bringing
cohesion within and across teams ensuring smooth collaboration and
delivery.""
