Keynote Session | Tuesday October 14

Dave leads our interface design and usability efforts and coordinates the efforts of the creative team through all projects and phases. He promotes collaborative and iterative design focusing on crafting innovative online experiences, and he is responsible for defining and refining Fluid's design processes and methodologies from discovery to prototyping.

With over 10 years experience in online content delivery and interface design, Dave combines his skills as an information designer and his training as an applied psychologist to bring insight into user behavior and expectations. Clients such as Design Within Reach, The North Face, Reebok, Timberland, and Charles Schwab have benefited from his information architecture, user interface design, and interaction design.

Prior to Fluid, Dave was a professor of Psychology at Xavier University of Louisiana in New Orleans where he began his career in information design by studying online learning and distance education. He continues to teach and has adjunct faculty appointments at San Francisco State University, where he teaches information and interaction design, and Golden Gate University, where he teaches applied psychology.

In addition to teaching, Dave has been invited to speak and hold seminars for various conferences and professional organizations including Macromedia MAX, Schwab IMPACT, Adobe, Ebay, and the Digital Media in Business program (At Work, Helsinki, Finland.)
