I'm Dave Huffman and I'm a digital creative director.

I am a results driven creative leader with a demonstrated ability to deliver transformative digital products and services. I have been recognized for the ability to identify and nurture talent and prepare teams for scalable growth. I manage global and cross functional teams of visual and user experience (UX) designers, and have led creative direction for marketing, brand, and product design.

I have a strategic, user-centered, value driven approach, and take great pride in bringing design craft coupled with innovative technology to my clients and their users to deliver "wow" experiences.

In my career I've had the opportunity to create or direct a bit of everything: websites, marketing campaigns, live interactive events, eCommerce stores, and native app UX/UI for a wide variety of clients including, USA Today, Bluefly, The Tata Group, Ralph Rucci, Marubeni, and Neutral Digital.

Most recently as Creative Director at Other World Computing, I led a team of UX & UI designers, copywriters, developers, brand strategists and email marketing professionals. I was responsible for all creative & digital touchpoints of the business including product design, brand management, go-to-market planning, and marketing & advertising for new products. OWC's products are used in the production of many projects in the Media & Entertainment industry including Rooster Teeth's Crunch Time, Sarofsky's Guardians of the Galaxy, and Moogfest 2017.

I was the Director of Creative Services at Volusion, responsible for leading all aspects of their creative services offering, delivering solutions for clients on the Volusion and Mozu platforms. Clients range from prêt-à-porter fashion retailers, national hardware chains, political campaigns & small local businesses to pure on-line entrepreneurs.

Prior to Volusion, I led the interactive creative team for STC Associates, a boutique NYC headquartered consultancy. I led a global team of designers and developers in the ideation, design and execution of a wide variety of materials ranging from websites, apps, landing pages and email marketing, to print materials, live events and branding. Some notable clients and projects include Tata Group subsidiaries like Tata Communications and Zoya, creating the first website for fashion designer Ralph Rucci, and taking USA Today's Super Bowl AdMeter voting on-line for the first time in 2013.

I attended the School of Visual Arts and graduated with a BFA in Graphic Design.

I currently reside in Austin, TX with my wife and two dogs.
