  • “David just finished up working on a new biz pitch with us and all I can say is... wow. We've had as many conversations around the agency about how impressive David was as we had about whether we think we'll win the pitch.”

    -Drummond Berman, Group Creative Director, Merkley + Partners

    “From design to implementation, David delivers on it all. If you are in need of a "one man wrecking crew" David is your guy. He is practical, easy to work with and gets it done and done well.”

    -Jason Moyer, Partner, Black Glass Consulting

    “David is great to work with- full of energy and big ideas. He's not afraid to jump in and get his hands dirty and did a wonderful job of collaborating and taking the reigns to lead our team.”

    -Jacqueline Black, Group Experience Director, Fantasy

    “I had the pleasure of working with David and was thoroughly impressed with the amount of talent and knowledge he possesses. He was continuously able to knock out designs for whatever crazy ideas were proposed to him.”

    -Daniel Wyszynski, Engineering Manager, Nike

    “David approaches design challenges by asking the right questions about the product: what's it for, why do people use it, is it fulfilling its goals? From there he goes into design with a functional purpose. By asking the right questions, he keeps you honest. Then he delivers sharp, great looking designs.”

    -David S. Bennahum, CEO & CTO, Ready Makers Inc.
