Hello I'm Dave.

I aim to deliver memorable and striking design solutions for a variety of clients. Want to see more? Take a look at my work.
I specialise in product and project design, focusing on creating engaging activity concepts for play frames, activity parks, and multi-functional recreational spaces. My role includes collaborating with clients to develop tailored designs that meet both aesthetic and functional goals, all while adhering to budgets and timelines. I oversee projects from initial concept through to completion, managing design processes, materials selection, and coordination with installation teams. My approach combines creative problem-solving with practical project management, ensuring a seamless experience and exceptional outcomes for all stakeholders.
I am an experienced graphic designer with a passion for crafting impactful visuals across various media. Skilled in Adobe Creative Suite (Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign), 3ds Max, AutoCAD, and Twinmotion, I specialise in branding, 3D modelling, web design, and print materials, ensuring professional results across diverse projects.
In web design, I use WordPress and Elementor to create functional, visually engaging websites tailored to client needs. I have a keen eye for detail, always ensuring my designs align with strategic objectives while remaining creative and cohesive.
Over the years, I have developed strong project management skills, effectively collaborating with teams and bringing creative concepts to life. Whether it’s developing a brand, producing 3D visualisations, or designing for digital and print platforms, I consistently deliver innovative and reliable results.
With extensive experience in event planning and management, I have successfully organised and delivered a variety of events, ranging from live music nights and club events to charity fundraisers and community gatherings. My skills encompass all aspects of event logistics, including budgeting, scheduling, and coordinating teams to ensure smooth execution.
I have worked closely with diverse groups, including volunteers, performers, venue staff, and external contractors, to bring concepts to life. Whether managing tight deadlines or complex projects, I excel at aligning team efforts towards a shared vision.
I take pride in the reaction to the events I’m involved with and look forward to bigger and better ones in the future.
With nearly two decades of experience in design, event coordination, and marketing, I bring a balanced skill set that combines creativity, technical expertise, and a genuine passion for connecting with people. My career began in event planning and graphic design, leading me to earn a degree in Graphic Design and take on a role as a Senior Designer in a small print studio, alongside various freelance projects. Today, as a Senior Product and Project Designer at House of Play, I contribute to significant revenue growth by blending innovative design with effective project cost management and in-house and client-focused marketing strategies.
Beyond design, I’m deeply committed to building relationships that enhance events and projects. Through marketing initiatives, I engage with communities and create memorable, interactive experiences that connect audiences with the essence of each project. I also bring SEO expertise to boost visibility and am adept at using analytics to measure campaign impact and continuously improve outreach efforts.
One of my most rewarding projects is the Ghost Ships Parade, a large-scale, multi-community event where I coordinate themed, illuminated boats along a canal. This project reflects my enthusiasm for collaborative, impactful design and the fulfilment of connecting with people through shared experiences.
I’m skilled across Adobe Creative Suite, AutoCAD, 3ds Max, Twinmotion, Capcut and a host of other design tools giving me the ability to bring varied visions to life. Whether it’s crafting spaces that engage audiences, building long-term client relationships, or overseeing complex events, I approach each task with dedication, precision, and a commitment to genuine, high-quality results.
