About

Hi, I'm Dave. I’m a UI/UX designer focused on bridging the gap between human needs and technology. I turn deep user research into intuitive, accessible digital experiences that solve real problems and make complex interfaces feel natural.

Outside of Figma, I'm usually studying competitive esports metas or deep-diving into epic fantasy books.

HomeState

Smart Home Dashboard

Built to replace the shallow, subscription-heavy apps that treat active homeowners like passive consumers. This project delivers an analytical command center, consolidating complex environmental data and lighting metrics into a scannable, high-fidelity interface designed for deep-dive optimization and true ownership of your home’s performance.

CoinLogic

Modular Crypto Trader with Risk Analysis

Crypto interfaces are notoriously polarized: they are either ugly, unreadable data dumps or slick consumer apps that strip away vital technical indicators. This concept bridges that gap. It delivers a high-contrast, performance-driven visual style that doesn't sacrifice depth, putting volume, price ranges, and rule-based trading automation directly at the user’s fingertips.

A Bit about me

01.

UI/UX Design

Where computer science meets graphic design. Over the last four years, I’ve focused on UX/UI within corporate environments where precision is everything, literally! I focus on turning messy, complex data into clean, high-contrast interfaces, making sure the underlying logic is solid so the product can ship fast and outpace the competition.

02.

AI is inevitable; flawless design is not.

I’ve spent nearly a decade adapting to the cutting edge, experimenting with AI tools from 2017-era CNNs and VQGAN to modern platforms like Claude and Gemini. To me, AI is an inevitable, powerful co-pilot—but the human element remains the compass. I build intelligent interfaces that respect human flaws, celebrate human design choices, and translate complex backend power into seamless, accessible experiences.

03.

Graphic Design

My BFA graphic design degree is the foundation for how I handle layouts, spacing, and typography. I use these visual principles to make sure complex user interfaces are clean and readable. My goal is to organize information clearly so users can find what they need right away without getting confused.

04.

Collaborative Design

My background in computer science helps me work smoothly with development teams. I understand the coding side of a project, which allows me to stay involved throughout the entire build process. I answer technical questions and collaborate with developers to ensure the final product matches the original design.

PHILOSOPHY

Where Human Behavior Meets Digital Innovation

Good UI/UX is about making complex tools feel easy. My work is defined by high visual clarity, solid underlying logic, and a deep respect for the user's time. I focus on building reliable layouts that stay out of the way, allowing people to interact with technology naturally and efficiently.
