David

Hey! I’m David.
(founder Dlove and Friends)

I started freelancing full-time in 2024, with the goal of doing meaningful creative work that results in not only beautiful websites but also generates results.


After a few unsatisfying jobs, one lay off, and the drive to make something of my own, I started Dlove and Friends.

The mantra of the studio is this:

Creating a website should feel like working with friends.

But not only websites, but work and in general. Life is simply too short to spend countless hours on things that drain us.

If you care about good design, good people, and leveraging the internet to solve real business problems, let’s work together.

Our guiding principles

Relationship focused

We don’t want to do a one and done job for our clients. We prioritize building long lasting and productive relationships that invest in our clients success. This enables us to better understand your business, and do better work.

Fight for the underdog

We prefer and will continue to work with small to medium sized companies. We feel we can make the most impact this way by uplifting local entrepreneurs to help them pursue their dreams, one website at a time.

The 1% rule

We believe the way to make significant progress is to make small changes that compound over time. We take the lifelong student approach to everything we do, aiming to improve our craft and our approach at least 1% every single day.

Customer service first

We strive to provide the best customer experience we possibly can. We do this with just quality work and a positive attitude. At the heart of every business is the people who operate in it every day, and we aim to make their lives easier.

Don't take our word for it,
hear from our past clients

"David has been exceptional to work with. He doesn’t just design beautiful interfaces; he deeply understands product, users, and flow.

He listens carefully, challenges assumptions thoughtfully, and translates complex ideas into intuitive experiences. His attention to detail and ownership mindset elevate every project he touches.

Beyond skill, he genuinely cares about outcomes. I would work with him again without hesitation. We would not be where we are today without his effort and dedication."

“We are trending over 200% increases in new leads since last year. We had a website that was outdated and he re-designed the entire site, once the website went up we had hits right away."

"David was responsive, organized, and clear about timelines and expectations. Any questions or changes I had were addressed quickly, and he made sure everything was done right before moving forward. The final product was clean, modern, and professional, and it reflects exactly what I wanted my firm’s online presence to convey.



If you’re a business owner looking for someone who truly cares about creating a website that fits your specific needs - and not just checking boxes - I highly recommend David for website design and SEO services."
