My name is Dave. I’m a graphic designer, illustrator, and ultimately a fluffer of ideas.
Over the last 14 years I’ve worked with businesses to help them develop their own ideas including brand names, visual identities, marketing ideas and general story-telling.
*Insert movie trailer voice* In a world of over-saturated with relentless online content, there has never been a more important time for creativity and innovation. And while both of these things can often feel elusive and shrouded in ethereal mystery, there are numerous ways we can tap into them in an incredibly entertaining way.
I deliver talks on creative thinking, brand design, and how to not lose your marbles in an era of rapidly advancing technological wizardry.
All of my talks come complete with:
• Pointing at things
• Exciting adjectives
• Questionable verbs
• My own trousers
And if that’s not enough to entice you in, then frankly, you’re not human.
In over three hundred hours of recording talks with some of the world’s greatest marketing minds – Dave managed to deliver a session that was easily among the best of them. There are three places where the magic happened: Dave knows his stuff and was able to convey this simply, came to help the specific people in the session, and was compelling in his delivery.
It’s easy in a talk to speak ‘at’ people. Dave speaks ‘to’ people and ‘with’ them to create a speaking experience which is fun, informative, and genuinely actionable. I like Dave as a man. I like Dave as a speaker. You should put him on your stage. You won’t regret it.
Dave came in and gave hands down the most entertaining and educational live call we’ve ever hosted in our community.
Members were speaking about it for weeks afterwards, and it’s regularly referred to as one of the best pieces of content within our library.
Couldn’t recommend him more, we are definitely gonna be back for a round two.
Dave presented to 150 people at our Leeds Cyber Security Conference 2024, and to say he smashed every element would be an understatement.
From the moment Dave sent me his slide deck with zero context with some very questionable pictures I knew we were in for a treat and on the day he did not disappoint.
Dave was talking about how thinking creatively doesn’t have to be hard, but can open up a whole new way of working, collaborating and solving problems within teams and even with cyber security. The feedback we have had has been nothing short of fantastic with many saying he was the highlight of the day.
I would not hesitate to work with Dave again, to recommend him or refer him.
If you are thinking about working with him in any capacity, in the famous words of Shia LaBeouf JUST DO IT!
