My deep understanding of how the web works roots all of my design work

I use Figma components and variables to effectively communicate design intent
I work with developers to share the responsibility of delivering an accessible project
I’m comfortable with Git, Terminal, writing CSS, Tailwind and creating local environments

There isn’t enough space on the internet for all the good things I have to say about Dave. Not only is he an excellent designer, he’s also an incredibly good guy who goes above and beyond to deliver great service.

Working with Dave makes the mammoth task of developing a website easy. He is methodical in his approach and we had regular meetings which helped us as a team to keep on track.

Dave has an incredible ability to make complex website stuff effortless. I love Dave’s prototyping and wireframing style, which breaks down the design process into manageable chunks.
