About Me

Hi, I’m David and sometimes Dave. I’m a graphic designer/art director based in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan with over 20 years in the industry. I have an advertising agency background, but I’ve been running my own creative studio since 2016.

I create branding and advertising for a variety of clients, with a focus on the tourism, arts and culture, financial, and non-profit sectors. I strive to create work with memorable visuals and clear messaging that cuts through the clutter of today’s media landscape. I’m a Certified Design Professional (CDP), and I’ve collected numerous design and marketing awards for my creative work.

I often work solo, but I also love to collaborate – whether it’s with an in-house marketing team or with other talented, creative people. I frequently team up with The Engagement Party and Paper Plane Communications.
