Director of Design - Google

"I had Dave in my team at HTC/Vive for 3 years and I considered him the rockstar of the lot. He is deeply talented, resourceful, hard working, self driven and - really, really fast. What makes it all the better is that this complete package comes with a positive and gentle personality that is a pleasure to be around every day. My team members look up to Dave and his ability to find creativity with any challenge. He is a designer that is not easily compartmentalized, because his skills are so broad. Graphics, Motion, Video, Photography, Spaces, 3D, Illustration. He is an asset to any team."

Mario Verduzco

Peter Chin

"Dave is one of the most talented individuals I have had the pleasure of working with. His creativity often surprises and creates new discussions amongst the different teams and projects I have led. He is both insightful and skillful in the art of visual design. He has been an invaluable partner and is one of the most incredible people I have worked with."

VP Clients Services - Hero Digital

"What can I say about Dave but WOW! Amazing! Incredible! World-Class! I have truly enjoyed working with Dave and continue to be in awe of his talent. As a Creative Art Director, Dave stands in a league of his own. His work ethic, attention to detail, and ability to take a brand far its perceived limits is astonishing. Dave is a rare talent and a genuinely nice guy. Working with him is a breath of fresh air in what can often be an industry full of ego and entitlement. Dave offers what every client dreams of - truly great work! I look forward to working with Dave again very soon."

Geoffrey Brown

Director of Product Design - Apollo Neuro

"Working with Dave Brinda was both a pleasure and an honor. I had the opportunity to work alongside Dave during my time at HTC, and I was always impressed with his ability to take initiative, learn new technologies, and to produce design work that's so crisp and polished it could easily be mistaken for an entire team's output. Dave is experienced as a few of us are. He truly has been "there," and has most definitely "done that" – and along the way has deeply affected the field of consumer electronics and more. The most impressive thing about Dave isn't even his (incredible) work – it's that he's a tremendous human being who's a delight to work with."
