About David

David has over a decade of experience bringing top-notch products to life on the Web, including a deep knowledge of user experience and the technical standards that make it tick. Before launching Stuntbox, he helped build web-based textbooks at Pearson Education, and then went on to lead the Interactive Design department at BusinessWeek during one of its largest audience growth periods.

When he’s not pushing pixels or punching code, he can usually be found fiddling with cameras or exploring the wilds of New York (both the upstate and downstate varieties). Oh, and it’s pronounced “slate”.
