David was a pleasure to call a teammate at Mediaworks Advertising. He has a ton of experience in the design world. I really learned a lot from his motion design skill set and he is a master at revising designs based on the clients needs. It was truly great to work with him in an ad agency setting and I would gladly want him on my team in the future!
