Bio

Hey, my name is David. I’m a designer, developer, and artist. I am always refining my craft, and enjoy striving for creative and innovative solutions to problems. My primary interests are in civic technology and the use of well designed and engineered systems to make the world a more just and equitable place. At heart I view myself as a craftsman, whether I’m working in code, or with pixels (or with both). I’m also interested in the contemporary edges of technological mediums, and in my spare time experiment with interactive art installations, collaborate on paintings with neural networks, create virtual reality experiences, and ramble about the button layouts of microwaves at parties.
