In my own words

Dave

Hi. My name is Dave Silva. I am an Art Director, Graphic Designer and Illustrator. I spent 10+ years in the advertising and graphics world, working along side the best creative and business minds in Orange County, Los Angeles and throughout the world. Through that work, I had the opportunity to work with everyone from Fortune 100 companies to small business owners and that experience has proven invaluable to how I approach my work for my design studio, “d5design”. From concept to completion, I approach design by blending creativity with strategy, art with technology, design with business – all into a fresh, honest and compelling final product. I work hand-in-hand with ad agencies, design firms, web developers and businesses of all sizes in need of inspired interactive solutions with a solid creative strategy behind them. Thanks for your time.
