David trained as an Architect at the prestigious Architectural Association in London. David quickly discovered a love for narrative design. Early projects for the Imperial War Museum were recognised with design awards, which led to an invitation to become Creative Director of Europe’s most successful museum design agency – Event Communications.

There he took on the creative lead for projects such as the Riverside Museum in Glasgow (which went on to win the European Museum of the Year), The National Library of Scotland, The National Railway Museum, and the Zayed National Museum in Abu Dhabi. 

Since moving to New Zealand in 2009, David has been the consultant Artistic Director for Auckland Museum, leading the creative development of a series of self-generated exhibitions. In 2014 he became Director of Content and Creative Development at the Maritime Museum.

David founded ART of FACT in 2013.
