Hey! I'm David.

Versatile Designer, Experienced Leader, & Post-Exit High-Growth Founder.

A Quick Intro

I'm David — a designer, founder, and exited high-growth startup leader with a passion for creating and building. Currently based in St. Louis, Missouri.

With a career that bridges architecture, product design, and entrepreneurship, I’ve spent the last 15 years shaping digital experiences and empowering creators. My journey began in architecture, where I honed my eye for design, detail, and user experience. Transitioning into digital product design, I applied these skills to develop intuitive, impactful interfaces that put user needs at the forefront.

In 2018, I co-founded Adalo, a no-code platform that democratized app development, empowering over a million users to bring their ideas to life without needing to code. As Adalo’s CEO and Design Lead, I guided our team in building a high-growth, industry-leading, VC-backed startup that captured significant market share and scaled rapidly. With a focus on user experience, I led Adalo from inception to a successful acquisition in 2024, cementing its place as a leader in the no-code movement and contributing to the platform’s mission of making technology accessible to everyone.

Today, my unique blend of design expertise and entrepreneurial drive gives me a holistic perspective on creating exceptional products that align with business strategy. From brand identity and product vision to team leadership and strategic execution, I’m passionate about harnessing the power of design to drive meaningful impact and inspire innovation across industries.
