HEAD OF MARKETING / THE PURE GOLD COMPANY
David was recommended to us by another designer who thought he would be a good fit for our needs and way of working. And he was absolutely right. We’re in an odd place as a business right now as we are transitioning from our legacy setup before we have a fully developed set of brand guidelines and supporting collateral in place to create the sort of marketing that would reflect our desired positioning.
That’s not an easy place for a designer to work in and be able to keep the client happy. David took it all in his stride and created “starting point” templates and initial designs to get us moving quickly that we can continue to develop. More importantly, they look great. Personally, I have found David incredibly easy, engaging and positive to work with. His focus is firmly on doing a great job for us and making sure we are happy, even if that reduces his effective hourly rate at times (not that I’m the sort of client to take advantage, mind).
We have now completed several design projects with David, initially for email and digital advertising, and it won’t be long before I get him looking at our pdf brochures.
SENIOR ACCOUT EXECUTIVE / WEAVE HEALTH
I have thoroughly enjoyed working with David. During our time working together, David has demonstrated that he is able to quickly understand an assignment but also applies critical thinking to challenge the brief to subsequently improve the outcome of the assignment to deliver a high standard of work. David has also proven himself as a strong team player, approaching work with a positive and proactive attitude, all while taking great pride in his work, on each and every occasion that I have worked with David. I hope that our paths cross again!

David is a talented and hardworking individual who would be a valuable addition to your project team.
CD/WRITER | FOUNDER MESSAGING MAKEOVERS
David is a great designer and a great communicator. He's collaborative, conscientious, thorough and cool in a crisis!
We worked together on the complete overhaul of a clients main 20pp DM piece. David integrated UX and eye tracking principles into a design that looked fresh, clean and cool. He was also able to successfully explain his approach to one of the more combative bunch of account handlers I've ever encountered! The pack we developed is currently outperforming the previous champ by more than 20% - so it looked good and worked good.
