My name is David and I live in Brooklyn, New York. I have lived in the Pacific Northwest my entire life and decided to make the move over to the east coast.

I earned a Bachelor of Fines Arts in Painting and Drawing—still make art today. After a few years jumping from a few different jobs, I worked for ExactTarget as a consultant on the Global Accounts team.

I then connected with Marie Thacker, who mentored me in the practices of User Experience and User Interface Design. It was through her I fell in love with the architecture of web and mobile applications—falling in love with not just how something looks, but how it works.

On February 17, 2011, I joined forces with my childhood friend Adam McDonald and we created Xhatch Interactive, a small design and dev shop which seems to be based on the cloud. I love my work and traveling and am so thankful I can do both now. I plan to do this for a while.

When I have free time, I like to draw, paint, read, go on walks and find ways to be inspired. I have seen all six episodes of Star Wars consecutively and have never owned a Creed album.

In a nutshell, I am a hopeless romantic who loves to create and see the world.
