David’s belief in the transformative nature of design – it’s capacity to function as a catalyst for profound, lasting, and positive change – is evident across his comprehensive body of work. With equal parts courage and vulnerability, he continually pursues design excellence for the benefit of the communities we serve. His approach is characterized by a conviction to explore thoughts and ideas that extend beyond traditional perspectives. David draws from his recent work with Oregon City and Lake Oswego to inform our team’s approach to student and stakeholder engagement, creating frameworks for participants to think critically and infuse the design process with joy and ingenuity.
