Dave is a brand designer based on the Gold Coast, Australia.

With a background in design and a focus on marketing and strategy, Dave puts his energy towards communicating brands and ideas through purposeful design and activation.

Having been co-director, studio manager and designer of a creative agency for 7 years, Dave has worked on large and small projects, both as part of a team and as an individual. He has completed projects ranging from branding and stationery suites through to website design, asset creation, brand audits and digital marketing plans.

Dave is a big believer in the developmental, creative and networking benefits of self-initiated projects and always has an entrepreneurial venture on-the-go outside of his 9-to-5. This, combined with his agency experience and a Masters of Marketing degree, has given him a deep understanding of what it’s like working in and with businesses of all shapes, sizes and persuasions.
