About
David Gardner
I’m a graphic designer and creative problem-solver working across design, web, restoration, and resale. I’m also a wheelchair user, and that experience has shaped the way I think about accessibility and adaptability—pushing me to think differently, adapt quickly, and come up with innovative ways to get things done.
I have a bachelor’s degree in graphic design and 10 years of experience across print, editorial, advertising, and digital design. I work in Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator and InDesign. My professional work includes campaigns for Live! Casino, Cooper and Fine Wine & Good Spirits created while freelancing for a marketing agency.
I enjoy both digital and hands-on creative work, from restoration to dimensional lettering and handmade objects. Restoring a piece of furniture and laying out a publication ask for many of the same things: patience, a plan, and attention to how the finished piece will function.
I’m building my small-business web design practice and taking on my first client websites. What I bring is a designer’s eye and a practical approach: sites that are clear, easy to use, and built to help people get in touch. My Copper Creek concept shows how I’d approach a small-business website.
