DAVID L RICHARDSON: Creative Director, Designer, Photographer
Educated at the Minneapolis College of Art and Design with an emphasis in Typography, I have always believed that Design informs everything that we do and see. For the past 20 years, I have enjoyed sharing that idea through a multitude of disciplines and experiences.
I also believe that Design is the details and have worked hard in my career to become versed in all facets of the creative process from start to finish and have always stayed very hands on to ensure the best possible outcome.
While either working as part of a team or leading teams, I quickly identify and shape good ideas, can mentor young and emerging talent and take on client service responsibilities easily. I am also well versed in the post and production process working with creators, editors, musicians, music houses, visual effects artists as well as digital and social efforts. The results are integration, efficiencies and a streamlined process that is healthy and nurturing for all those involved.
I understand business objectives and the ever evolving need to stay curious, informed and to start with an idea before moving into execution.
It's hard to beat when those things line up and everyone can be proud of the results.
