Hi! I’m David.
I’m a 23 year old Industrial Designer from Austin, TX, currently in the Graduate Industrial Design program at ArtCenter College of Design.
I come from a background in Environmental Science and Sustainability, and I try to approach design with a focus on people, the environment, and the ethical impact of the things we create.
I’ve worked as an Industrial Design Intern at Four Hands, and in 2025 I launched my own LLC where I patented a custom product for drummers and shipped more than 500 orders.
Apart from design, I enjoy making music, surfing, biking, and hiking. I am always looking for an adventure, and try to immerse myself in the outdoors whenever I can.
Experience
Industrial Designer | Founder, Drumbreak LLC
I brought a novel type of sound projector for drummers to market and sold more than 500 units within the first week. I managed the entire development process, from early ideation and prototyping to manufacturing, marketing, distribution, and partnerships with music stores in Austin, TX. The product was adopted by top university music programs, including major schools such as the University of Texas, the University of Oregon, UC Davis, Indiana University, and others.
Industrial Design Intern at Four Hands
I worked on a range of warehouse focused tools, including leading the design and development of a proprietary hand truck system for moving products in storage. I also collaborated with vendors on packaging construction to help optimize both cost and sustainability goals for Four Hands LLC.
Fabrication Lab Technician at Anna Hiss Robotics
I managed the equipment and workspace in a shared fabrication lab, keeping the environment safe, organized, and clean for all users. I also contributed to projects as needed by designing and building organization solutions for tools and materials.
