Howdy, I'm David! I'm a Staff Product Designer with 10+ years experience designing end-to-end product experiences across mobile, web, emerging technologies, and large-scale systems.
These days, you'll find me leading design initiatives within eBay's Selling organization with a focus on modernizing and simplifying listing experiences for millions of users through AI-powered workflows, product transformation, and systems thinking.
I believe great design reduces friction. The best products should feel effortless, almost invisible, because they help people accomplish what they came to do with clarity, confidence, and delight.
For me, simplicity isn't about removing elements for the sake of minimalism; it's about removing complexity that gets in the way. Through thoughtful visual hierarchy, whitespace, and strong visual execution, design can reduce cognitive load and help people move naturally through an experience.
I find that requirements and feature requests are starting points rather than final answers. Users often describe solutions instead of underlying needs and is where curiosity and collaboration matter. My role isn't simply to execute ideas, but to question assumptions, explore alternatives, and uncover opportunities that better solve customer problems.
Lastly, I strongly believe in shipping, learning, and iterating. Especially in emerging spaces like AI, new technologies create opportunities to redefine experiences and shape future behaviors.
Off the clock, you might find me playing video games, exploring a new hobby, cooking something ambitious, or reading Dungeon Crawler Carl.
