Hello. As you already know, my name is Dave. Thank you for visiting my Web site!
As I stated on the home page, I am passionate about creativity and design. However, as noted in my Design Philosophy, I'm a firm believer that great design does not stand alone. Instead, it has to serve a purpose, and it has to work as an integral part of something larger.
When you work with me, you're not only getting a designer, but you're also getting a consultant and strategist that can see the "big picture." From marketing strategy to writing to design, I'm here to serve you and create a complete, integrated solution. I want your organization's design and communication efforts to be more than just a sleek facade or a mere reflection of your organization. Instead, I want those efforts to be your organization — a seamless extension of your core values and beliefs.
This level of integration is the only way that any design and communication effort can succeed. I believe that my status as an independent consultant is my greatest advantage as it allows me to offer the high level of one-on-one personal care and attention that is needed to achieve this integration.
If your design and communication efforts require the guidance and assistance of a caring expert, you've come to the right place. I invite you to learn more about my unique services, and if you have any questions, you are welcome to call or email. I look forward to working with you.
I wanted to express our appreciation for the incredible frog to prince transformation you have given our Mayer Roofing, Inc. company Web site. Your creative talents are endless and you have designed an informative, artistic, technical and very user-friendly site that is exactly what we have been looking for.
Your professional diligence in staying on schedule and taking the time to hear our input on ideas and direction was equally appreciated. Your team approach kept us in the process and resulted in a site that we are all proud to present.
Our management staff and employees were the first to have any opportunity to see the site and we have received nothing but positive feedback. We know our customers will find the site very useful in learning more about our company.
We look forward to future projects with you.

I was referred to Dave Woods for my Web site design needs and now understand why. Dave created a user-friendly, highly functional, professional Web site for my staffing company. He made great suggestions, listened to my needs and was extremely reliable, communicating with me every step of the way. Dave was even able to incorporate our key messages surrounding the power of human connections into the design and images used in the site. Thanks for all of your hard work, Dave!

I enjoyed working with Dave in developing the Web site for my yoga studio. Being a yogi himself and knowing how my studio operates was a big help in the process of developing a great and user-friendly Web site. He used all the information and pictures in a very nice design that works. Good turnaround time and ongoing support for 2 years now and looking forward to many more. Thanks, Dave.

As a student in Graphic Communication at Cal Poly San Luis Obispo, Dave Woods delved deep into our curriculum. His design work brought recognition to our department with his award-winning design of Animal Farm, a limited-edition book. His senior project continues to serve as an example of excellent research and technical writing for our senior-level Research Methods course. His ability to conceptualize and communicate for both print and web has continued to grow since his graduation from our department.
