I’m Dave

I am an image maker from Saint Louis, Missouri. I use sculptures and photography to create my illustrations. In 2012, I graduated from the Sam Fox School of Design and Visual Art at Washington University with a B.F.A. in Communication Design. In my career, I have worked as a Designer, Front-End Developer, Application Developer, and Illustrator. I will graduate with a M.F.A in Illustration and Visual Communication from the Sam Fox School of Design and Visual Art at Washington University in 2025.  I have worked creatively with publications, marketing firms, and design houses. Recently my work was recognized by American Illustration.

I grew up in Maplewood, Missouri just outside of the city of Saint Louis. A piece of my heart will always live there. I currently live in Wildwood, Missouri with my wife and two girls. We love to watch the deer in our back yard, sing, dance, play music, make art, watch Bluey, and play board games. In my free time I like to research history, collect hobbies, and pretend to be intense in self-portraits.
