“Dave is the kind of person who quietly changes how you think. How you think about design, about craft, about your work…about life!
If you've never worked and built something with Dave, you're missing out big time. It's difficult to put on paper how much better your teams and products get just by having him around (it’s difficult but Dave would make it seem really easy).“Staff product designer, Pandadoc
“David helps me think more conceptually about what we are designing, which has a direct impact on improving the experience itself, as well as is a very refreshing approach. He shows calmness and listens respectfully to all perspectives.
He is very helpful with bigger discussions and also small UI details at the same time…He also considers constraints and provides more than one viable alternative, he shows no concern with serving his own ideas, but ensuring the user gets the best experience possible…
Working with David truly energizes me and makes me want to invest in the best possible experience by understanding the outcomes and keeping the big picture in mind.
