I’m david, lettering artist, concept designer and motion director based in Lausanne, Switzerland.

From Motion Designer to Lettering Artist

I help my clients - studios, brands and agencies - crafting ideas into visuals since 2010. From Switzerland to London, passing by Paris and Los Angeles, my love for design has always pushed me further.

After working for more than ten years as a freelance motion designer, my interest gradually evolve towards lettering and concept design. So much so that I have decided to make it now my main focus.

On one hand, I work with studios and production companies to create striking title sequences and movie titles. On the other hand, I help companies to develop a solid brand identity with lettering and custom typography.

My goal is to immerse your audience - viewers or customers - into the heart of your story. I do that first by listening to what you have to say and understanding what challenges you are facing and then by creating tailor-made solutions through the art of letter design and storytelling. 

I dedicate my time and skills to ensure Your Story is told the best way!

Motion Design legacy showreel

Here a compilation of my work done during the 10 years I’ve worked as a freelance motion design animator.

Even though I offer a slightly different kind of service now, motion design is still a part of who I am and it indisputably infuses how I think about design.

Everything you see in this video has been animated, and partially designed, by myself.
