David is from a ship building city in the North East of England.
Having no interest in ships, or building them, he moved to London to study Graphic Design. It was there he discovered advertising and, with the help of many talented people along the way, has worked with a lot of great clients, won some awards and made a lot of his parents proud.
Having spent the last 15 years bringing ideas to life for some of the world’s biggest brands, he’s now taking on Freelance Projects in the US and the UK.
