David Blaine Howard

I am a creative director, art director, graphic designer, illustrator, and technical illustrator. I have more than 30 years of experience working in corporate communications and ad agencies. My skill set and styles are wide. I firmly believe concept, message and style has to be relevant to the client, product and demographic rather than my own preferences. I create brand identities, logos, collateral, point of sale, promotions, packaging design, menu design, web design and social media assets, trade show and sales center design, characters and kid's collateral, infographics, illustrations, map illustrations, and technical illustrations.

I have years of experience in retail, real estate, hospitality, restaurant, technology and healthcare verticals. Clients have included JCPenney Co., Nocona Boots, Levi Dockers, AT&T, David Weekley Homes, Decker Foods, Trammell Crow, W Hotels and Residences, Crescent Communities, Texas Health Resources, Hunt Real Estate Group, American Airlines, Bennigan's, La Madeleine Bakery and Bistro, Centex Homes, TXU Energy, Oracle Cerner, Elk Building Products, Smoothie King, and Shell Corporation to name a few.

I'm excellent in client facing meetings, communication, creating and giving presentations, and photo art direction. I am always a team player, but I am not afraid to give my opinion. My favorite quote is "If you love what you do, you won't work a day in your life.
