Nice to meet you! I'm David
👋 Hi, I’m a product designer based in Vancouver.
My design journey began at age 8, when I found joy in designing cardboard experiences through toys and puppet shows for my little siblings. Today, the same spirit of putting smiles in people's lives drives my design process.
When I’m not designing, you’ll find me training for the next marathon, experimenting with new recipes, or exploring a hidden corner of my surroundings.

"Design is the rendering of intent"
In my work, this philosophy drives everything. I transform clear intentions into meaningful experiences that solve real problems. Beyond aesthetics, my designs embody purpose – each element is deliberately crafted to connect with users while achieving business goals.
