Headshot

My name is David Dyer, I am an artist, skateboarder, music label co-founder, and eCommerce professional, making strides toward a career in UX Design & frontend web development. Born in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, our family moved to Central Florida where I got heavy into digital video production and DJ'ing. Eventually, my friends and I launched a record label dubbed Prestige Music Group, still running today. In '07, I graduated from the University of Central Florida with a BA in Entrepreneurship. It was not long after graduation that I relocated myself to sunny Los Angeles CA....

In early '09, I gained an entry-level position with famed LA apparel brand, The Hundreds. Within one year, I was promoted to eCommerce Sales Manager. As the years went on, the collections and warehouse teams grew in size, as did the responsibilities merging into digital marketing, merchandising, logistics, 3PL, the list goes on. After years of building trust with executives, I was able to position myself into a vital part of our web development team. My input was largely considered with respect to building out functionality for multiple website redesigns and platform migrations. I believe this experience planted the seed that later grew into aspirations for a career in UX Design.

In 2018 I ventured up to the Bay Area, landing in Oakland. There, I joined up with community apparel brand Oaklandish as Operations Specialist, working to establish and manage multiple sub-label web shops, integrated sales channels, and help facilitate the start of their partnership with the Oakland Roots Soccer Club. Soon I decided to further my education by earning certification as a UX Designer from UCBerkeley.

Enter COVID. I have relocated once again, now residing just outside of Atlanta GA. Lately, you can find me offering freelance design services while enrolled at GA Tech coding bootcamp for the fall term, putting all the pieces together. Reach out, get in touch, and let's start a project together!
