My name is David Chan and I'm a designer and developer based in Toronto
I bring strong technical expertise and more than 15 years of design experience across SaaS, fintech, and ecommerce, spanning agency, startup and enterprise environments.
Following Dieter Rams' "Less, but better" philosophy, I believe good design goes beyond aesthetics and should create better experiences.
