As I progressed through the years, these hobbies evolved into teaching myself 3D animation and traveling around the world. I realized a very young age that to enjoy the lifestyle I now have, I would have to strike it on my own, hence why I jumped head-first into entrepreneurship. I spent many years dealing with programmers, engineers, CEOs and architects around the world who have all helped me tremendously to broaden my areas of expertise and knowledge which has proven invaluable in my self-education within these field. You see, I am completely self-taught without any formal education in any of these fields.

I work as a production designer in Wellington for Xero and in my spare time I like to photograph the city. I like to do anything art related, like photography or painting. During the winter I like skiing and if I'm lucky I'll sail throughout the year.

I'm a programmer and a puzzle fanatic. I love Rubik's Cubes and other mechanical and logic-based puzzles. Recently, I am spending almost all of my time getting adjusted to a new addition to my family. My wife and I have a little girl and I am a very proud and excited father. I really enjoy watching movies, reading, drawing, programming, and playing all sorts of games.

One that can be individualized by sound waves. Nicknamed the "Odb", you just need to send David any kind of audio sample and he'll design the individual shapes for your very own waveform necklace. From there you easily assemble the necklace from home. A product designer by trade it was David's love of music that led to the motivation for his creation. David is working on the English version, which is "coming very soon".
