Dave’s primary focus is writ­ing great soft­ware applic­a­tions, but he is equally pas­sion­ate about user inter­faces, usab­il­ity and the present­a­tion of the soft­ware to the user.

Dave gradu­ated from Com­puter Power in 1994 (back when 640kb of RAM was enough for every­one), and has been devel­op­ing soft­ware for over 15 years. He has worked as a CAD oper­ator, 3D mod­el­ler and anim­ator, sys­tem admin­is­trator, tech­ni­cian, man­ager and developer – some­times one at a time, and more often than not, filling many roles simultaneously.

In 2002, he cre­ated the busi­ness model for a lead­ing icon design firm, and led the team there until leav­ing to form Clever Starfish.

Con­cen­trat­ing on user inter­face design, soft­ware usab­il­ity and cri­tique, icon design, product devel­op­ment, mar­ket­ing and cli­ent con­sulta­tion, Dave has worked with some of the world’s most “iconic” and recog­nis­able com­pan­ies, such as Nero, Agi­lent and Airbus.

With his drive to imple­ment new ideas and products, you will find Dave par­ti­cip­at­ing in many industry events, both web and soft­ware orientated.
