hi, i’m dave

Product Designer & Builder

I’m an Isra-merican living in sunny Pardes Hana, with 11+ years experience designing products. I’m curious about how humans, AI and machines interact. Most of all, I’m thinking about you, the person I’m building for.

I’m fortunate to have worked with startups, e-commerce and enterprise companies and taking multifaceted, hard to understand information and translating it to relatable software.

How I work

As humans, we love that high five or that smile, or that moment in traffic where someone lets you go in front of them. I love that I can have a positive effect as a human. To me, product design is an applied, scalable way for me to dole out those high fives to the people I design for.

My squiggly path to design

I was born in Belgium, but actually grew up in a place called Newton, Massachusetts. It’s a nice place with a lot of snow, and history, and origin to at least three famous people (Matt Damon, Amy Poehler and Matt Leblanc). After high school I moved to Israel for a few years and then in 2009 my brother Omer, my dad Shimon, my sister Vered and I started a waffle restaurant in Oregon. This was a pretty wild ride. The business quickly expanded to three locations and 50+ employees, and I matured a lot in a very short amount of time.

What was also interesting about this time period is that this was when smartphones first came out (remember that?). I became really curious about digital products, and my first instinct was actually to fly to India (and grow a huge mustache), to travel but also to try and build my first digital product. I learned that I had a huge curiosity and I moved back to Israel to feed that curiosity. Since then, I have been learning non-stop about design and products; from data visualization to calligraphy, to the never ending nebula of AI tools and continuously changing ways to solve design problems.
