David here! I'm a Principal Product Designer with front-end dev skills. When I'm not slinging pixels, you can find me enjoying the outdoors, in the midst of a board game, or nerding out about whisky.
Hey there 👋🏼
Thanks for stopping by my corner of the internet. I'm a product designer with over 12 years of professional design experience who's passionate about crafting user experiences that are intuitive, efficient, and honestly just nice to use.
If you're interested in hearing how Star Wars kickstarted my design journey, jump over to learn a bit more about where I started and what I've been up to. Or just dive right into my recent work below.
An Exercise in Query Wrangling
Overhauling Act-On's segmentation engine to handle complex audience logic, without making users feel like they're writing SQL.
Owning Up to the Errors
A dashboard that takes the dread out of sync errors by making them visible, understandable, and (most importantly) fixable.
Looking Beyond the Send
A complete refactor of Act-On's email reporting and contact timelines, giving users a clearer picture of what actually happens after the send.
Refactoring While Shipping
Auditing, tokenizing, and rebuilding Act-On's design system into something that makes the whole team faster - including our dear friend Claude.
The projects above are meant to showcase a variety of skills and experience, though they are not an exhaustive list of my work.
