Hi, I’m David.

I’ve led award winning design teams at companies such as Gensler. Founded Home Grown, a food tech startup based in Berkeley, CA. I currently hold roles as a UX and Brand Advisor for early stage startups and as a Principal Product Designer at Kroger.

I believe…

“The best products are produced when there is a shared vision and a partnership across teams that nurtures collaboration, transparency, and accountability.”
