I started my first business at the age of 24. I sold it three years later with the customary bumps and bruises of startup life. It was here where I learned the art of roll-up-your-sleeves marketing.
I... then decided to submit a business plan to Google. My idea ranked in the top 10 out of 400 applicants. Google funded my project and provided me with a rare opportunity to gain insight into best practice for building and growing brands. I then packaged these skills, offering them to a range of clients via my digital marketing company that helps brands to innovate and scale.
Many years after that first business exit, with a few more successful ventures under my belt – for clients and partners - I have further sharpened my ability to take a product, service or concept to market and breathe creative and commercial life into it.
The reason?
I employ a street smart approach to marketing, creating and selling and possess both technical know-how and a keen ability to execute creative that works, not just look pretty.
When you work with me, here’s what you get…
• I turn an idea or product into a monetised, trusted brand
• I scale brands through viable market strategy
• Customer acquisition and management across a range of niches
• I execute world class creative content - from logos to websites, video and app UI to fit the brand
• Team management and articulating complex briefs
o working on my own projects or managing a diverse team of techies and creatives
o working with agencies to ensure work is delivered on time and to the highest quality
I am a multi disciplined marketing professional with the following proven successes:

Brilliant experience from start to finish. Worked around my budget and ideas. Great communication with regular updates. Completed quickly and helped me with what I wanted on my website. Definitely recommend....
I have been working with David for 2 years now, reaching out whenever I require assistance with my web site. He is extremely reliable, quick to respond to requests and I feel very fortunate to have him... as an outsourced part of my team. I highly recommend him!
I reached out on WIX Marketplace for help on a project. David was quick to reach out, offer a call and then summitted a well written proposal that reiterated he understood my requirements. In short, we... needed a Member only directory on our website and a custom membership form, with signatures captured, for annual membership dues
The project got started and although over the holidays - Dave was very responsive, smart and able to deliver what we needed.
I highly recommend him and would engage him on future projects.
Extremely happy with the work from David and his team! The communication was quick and thorough, and the delivery was ahead of schedule. The work turned out great. Wix has some blind spots when it comes... to their editor and Aurora Design Solutions came in to save the day with a custom built search bar filter for my data repeater using Velo. I can make minor edits in the regular editor too which is amazing. Very happy with the service. Thanks so much!
It was a great experience working with David at Aurora Designs. He showed to be clearly very experienced in web design and he was very clear and precise with all his communications. Great job David, thank... you!!
They were fair with their prices and stuck to the time frame they told me they would. I was very pleased overall with the service and would recommend them....
I initially hired Aurora for assistance to launch my web site. Since then I have continued to work with Aurora to make occasional changes and updates. It is such a comfort to know that they are there... to assist. Dave is very quick to respond and has been generous with his time. Thank you Dave!
This is my 2nd time working with David and Aurora Design Solutions. He is responsive, gets the work done quickly and checks back to ensure the work is completed in a way that I understand the changes... and can work within them. It is truly such a relief to know that I can reach out to a professional with any of my website issues/changes. I highly recommend them!
David was wonderful to work with! We needed a new Employment Application form for our website and he custom coded one for us exactly how we needed it. He was very friendly and always responded very quickly.... We are very happy with the work he did and overall really enjoyed working with him and cannot recommend him enough!
Although I was able to design my website, it proved to be more difficult than expected to launch. David at Aurora Design Solutions was quick to respond to my initial request and took the time over a zoom... call to speak with me to understand my business needs as they relate to the web site. The work was done almost immediately and he was responsive and helpful at all times. I highly recommend him!
