Zig-zagging along - Graphic Designer David Dooley

32 minutes

David developed an array of skills studying multimedia at university in Ireland, and he’d freelanced on the side of full-time gigs for years, as well as going solo for a while before one of his clients took him on as an employee.

He didn’t stay long though. By then, David had caught the travel bug.

From Ireland to Central America and everywhere in between, he’s spent the past couple of years travelling the world. He never intended to work while he was away, but the jobs kept coming in, and David soon found himself living the digital nomad lifestyle.

Now settled in Mexico, where he fell in love, David’s freelancing full-time and building up his one-person studio. This is his story so far.
