Hi, I’m David. I’m an illustrator and designer based in Auckland, and I love creating work that’s bold, playful, and memorable — from framed bar art and character-driven posters, to illustrated maps for tourism and concept branding for Coca-Cola. I work closely with my clients to understand their story and bring it to life. My goal is simple: you get work that stands out, works in the real world, and arrives on time, every time. What Sets Me Apart Real-world experience: I’ve delivered projects that work at every scale — from local bars and events to commercial campaigns with national reach. Illustration with purpose: Every line, colour, and character is crafted to tell your story and connect with your audience. Reliable and professional: Deadlines, budgets, and briefs are taken seriously — you can trust me to deliver without surprises. Flexible creativity: I create for print, digital, events, merchandise — whatever your project needs. How I Work I keep things simple and collaborative: Understand the brief — we clarify your goals and success metrics Sketch, iterate, and collaborate — making sure the ideas feel right Deliver polished, ready-to-use work — no guesswork, no surprises I believe great design is creative, clear, and built to last — something that people notice, remember, and enjoy. If you want work that’s original, eye-catching, and made to actually perform — let’s talk.
