David has spent the last 20 years crafting and concepting work across the entertainment, product, and advertising industries—from content and apps to global campaigns and experiences for clients including Intel, Adidas, Pepsi, and Jeep. But what underpins his vision are ideas that have the power to elevate a brand and stories that endure beyond the deadline.

After earning his BFA in New Media, while running a small Flash game company, David cut his teeth as a hybrid creative at some of Canada’s foremost agencies, including BBDO, Proximity, and Grey. Then, internationally at AKQA in Amsterdam. Today, he leads teams at Media.Monks, delivering work at the crossroads of design and technology, and ideas that blend strategy with storytelling.
