Precision, made legible.

Hey, I'm Dave. I design enterprise product surfaces: portals, product information systems, and the sites in front of them. Most of my day is spent figuring out how to make dense, technical information legible to people who need an answer fast.

I like to think my design flow and spatial awareness come from the years I used to ballroom dance, though these days that agility is mostly reserved for the volleyball court. When I'm offline, I'm usually deep into a heavy fantasy novel, out camping, or hitting a hiking trail. Keeping me grounded through all of it is Frankie, my miniature dachshund and the world's tiniest, most demanding co-worker.

I love building things that actually work, and I'm always down to talk strategy, design, or the outdoors.
