About David Woods
Oklahoma City Art Director & Brand Designer with 20+ Years of Work That Actually Moves People
My work spans brand identity, print, campaigns, web, motion graphics, and book design, but the discipline has never been the point. The point is always the same: understand what you're really trying to say, then find the sharpest, most honest way to say it visually.
That's taken me from designing marketing pieces for Polydor Records to building 3D virtual event environments for Labroots, from supporting cultural institutions like the Bob Dylan Center and Lyric Theatre of Oklahoma to crafting the look and feel of a debut novel that hit number one on the Oklahoma bestseller list. The clients are different every time. The standard isn't.
I work independently, which means when you hire me, you get me, not a junior designer who's never spoken to you. I've led creative teams, mentored designers, and directed photoshoots, but my favorite work has always been the kind where a client and I get into the details together and come out the other side with something neither of us could have predicted at the start. I've been called a hawk for the details. I'll take it.
If you're based in Oklahoma City or anywhere else and you need design work done right the first time, I'd love to hear about your project.
What I work on:
If it needs to look like it was made by someone who cared, I can help.
David by the numbers:

It is always a joy to work with David. He was recommended to me years ago when I established my own business. His attentiveness, curiosity, and willingness to spend as much time as needed on our concept was so refreshing. Since then, I've returned to David whenever I've needed specific branding work or logos that really told my story. You won't regret working with him.
