Hi! I’m David, a Costa Rican based graphic designer who loves aesthetics from its minimalism to the visual complexity of a busy design. I’m always exploring new ideas and testing how far intuition can carry a project. I don’t chase trends; I design intuitively and aim to work with what's both practical and expressive. Also, if needed, I’ll take the simplest route if it doesn’t compromise the design.
