DAVID STRAIGHTOhio born, Pennsylvania raised, Seattle resident. I think in cartoons and see the world as an open invitation for adventure. I’m an eternal optimist and humorist. Like a lot of designers I’m a night owl, because who doesn’t slip into a good flow when everyone else is sleeping? I believe in design for social good, and always aim to wield my powers to improve people’s lives.

TESTIMONIAL"Dave is amazing to work with. Whether he is creating the UX for a mobile application or a spiffy logo that represents the spirit of a conference he always comes through. Dave is meticulous in his approach, his designs are always centered on the user and bring products to life in a way that embodies your branding while matching the platforms that are being used. I have worked with Dave as a co-worker, on side projects, and have hired him to work on community projects - he has always excelled." JAMES POWER EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR LOVING THIS BEER |

DIGGING THESE JAMSTESTIMONIAL"It's easy to pay lip service to user-centered design - David embodies this philosophy in his work. He's a thoughtful prototyper and partner in user research. I'm impressed at how he takes feedback to heart - it's hard to hear a customer critique your designs, but David does what will be best for our users without ego. His Axure and web prototyping skills have helped lead the overall UX practice at McGraw Hill toward a more polished and mature direction. He's also quick to pick up on insights during usability studies that I don't find until re-reviewing the video footage. David is a well-rounded UX designer, and a great exemplar of putting user centered design in action." ANDREA CHIN USER EXPERIENCE RESEARCHER |
