About David & Two Trees
Goofy. Serious. Sensitive (Eyes). Human.
Who is David?
I grew up the only brother in the middle of 4 funny and loyal sisters.
Drove through the night to NYC to see Late Night with Conan.
Weird Al Yankovic is the best concert I’ve ever been to.
Competed 2x in the Rock Paper Scissors Championships. Lost 2x.
I love pizza. The food pyramid is really just a piece of pizza.
Hiked the side of a cliff in the Swiss Alps.
Surfed a wave much bigger than me. Crushed me.
Stood below 300 foot tall redwoods on the California coast.
I’m small, but I know I’m big to my kids. Being a husband and father is the best job there is.
Why “Two Trees”?
If you’ve ever been at the base of a redwood tree, you don’t forget that. Two Tree Design was born from a time I stood between these giants and had a sort of existential-designer epiphany in my head:
“These redwoods were here hundreds of years before me and took that long to grow hundreds of feet tall and will, hopefully, be here hundreds of years after me.”
I felt so tiny. It inspired me at the same time to make my logo into two trees, weaved into an infinity symbol. I’m reminded that when I create - I’m just a tiny designer guy living on a long timeline trying to make good ideas stick - hopefully they stick for you 😉
