10 simple tips
David’s childhood was largely spent drawing pictures in high school class and blowing pocketfuls of quarters at the local arcade. His high school guidance counselor told him that he would never get anywhere pursuing art or video games as careers. After receiving degrees in graphic design at BYU-Idaho and interactive design at the ArtCenter College of Design, he went on to work at companies like Microsoft and Cendant doing interactive and web design. He also taught visual arts at the Art Institute of Seattle and Bellevue College. Eventually, he wound up at Bungie, designing the user interfaces for Halo, Halo 2, Halo 3, Halo 3: ODST, Halo: Reach, Destiny, Destiny 2, and the upcoming Wonder Woman game. He was instrumental in helping define the party and lobby systems, as well as the gamepad cursor now so prevalent in online console gaming. Most recently he has been working on the interface for the recently announced Black Panther game at EA in the newly formed Cliffhanger game studio, and relishing the fact that he proves his high school guidance counselor wrong on a daily basis.
