Diversity Co-Chair

David began his career with renowned designer Gerald Reis. As a senior designer at Pentagram for 11 years, he worked with a range of clients, including Design Within Reach, San Francisco Free Clinic, University of Southern California, McGeorge School of Law, and San José Institute of Contemporary Art.

With over 19 years of design experience ranging from corporate communications, identity, branding, editorial design, annual reports, books, catalogs, and packaging to exhibition design, environmental design, and wayfinding systems, David’s projects have been recognized in major design competitions and publications, including New York Art Directors Club, AIGA, Critique, Western Art Directors Club, One Club, and Graphis.

David holds an B.A. in Art from the University of California, Berkeley, where he focused on printmaking. He later continued his studies in graphic design at the California College of Arts & Crafts (now CCA), where he currently teaches.

Design is integral to all our lives, and we look forward to raising awareness and participation within the profession to better reflect the range of disciplines and communities of the Bay Area.
