RINGLING COLLEGE OF ART AND DESIGN
David is a senior student of Graphic Design at Ringling College of Art and Design in Sarasota FL. He has previously interned on Google’s Material Design team in San Francisco and is now spending a semester abroad at Willem De Kooning Academy in the Netherlands. David values thoughtful design, and exploring spaces of layout, typography and branding. That space between perfection and humanism.
