Mentor
Over the years, I have combined teaching, academic leadership, and professional UX/UI practice, staying deeply connected to both the educational and industry sides of design.
I’ve led academic programs, mentored future designers, and collaborated with startups and established companies to create end-to-end products across a wide range of sectors.
My work spans early-stage product strategy to full implementation, working closely with product and development teams.

NGO & Social Impact.
(03)
For over a decade, I’ve been leading a unique program that connects design students with nonprofits — creating digital solutions that serve real people and real needs.
“We came to David’s program with an idea that evolved over time into a real need within our organization. His students created a unique, beautifully designed application that built a genuine bridge between the nonprofit and its beneficiaries.
Thank you for your incredible work!”
