In this episode, I had the opportunity to interview a seasoned designer with over 30 years of experience who has turned into a full-time graphic design educator. This educator is helping the next generation of graphic designers gain real-world experience as part of their high school curriculum. David shares wisdom for new and seasoned designers based on his extensive career.

More about David:

David is a graphic designer and educator with a career that started in 1991 after discovering his passion for design while working at a mall kiosk. His journey took him from early web design ventures with his father to earning a Bachelor's in Graphic Design from The Art Institute of California - Orange County. David spent significant time at Experian, evolving from a Senior Graphic Designer to an Interactive Art Director, and co-created the Handable Phone Grip, a testament to his interest in functional design.

In 2015, David transitioned to education, teaching Digital Design and Visual Communications at North Orange County ROP, El Dorado High School. He founded the 'Design Rescue Studio,' a program that combines academic learning with real-world projects, and launched 'The Design Rescue Show' on YouTube to extend his educational reach. Currently, he balances teaching with running his freelance design business, continuously learning and adapting to the ever-changing design landscape.
