Dave’s creations are fuelled by a love of music, comedy and nostalgic times working in hospitality. The expressive characters he draws live out the comical scenes that play in his imagination.

Dave’s sense of humour and smart approach to design was a huge sell. He brings the perfect balance in his artwork so I was stoked for the opportunity to work with him!

Summer Retic

I didn't have any idea how much this logo would tie my company together. I'm so excited about what this new chapter will bring. I'm already seeing the results and I couldn't be happier. 10/10, no notes.

Little Dynamo

Woohoo I love the logo! I can't get past the mascot, it's divine! Very happy.

THIS SLAPS!!! It’s come together so nicely, thank you so much. From the illustration to the design, it’s exceeded any expectations I’d had for this process.
