Speaker Bio
David Funkhouser - Partner/Design Principal, Funkhaus
The namesake of independent digital agency Funkhaus, David has designed brand identities, websites, and SaaS apps for some of the world’s most recognized creative content companies. His personal philosophy has always been about a blue-collar approach to design and mentorship, preaching an ethos of Demystifying Creative™ — simplifying processes through transparency and collaboration, offering thoughtful solutions to complex issues, and producing authentic results for companies and individuals.
Throughout his 25+ year career, David has established himself as an expert with an honest eye and a strong foundation of creating digital solutions for the commercial, film production, and post and VFX industries. He has worked closely with creative minds like Spike Jonze, Ridley Scott, Mark Mothersbaugh, and Roman Coppola, as well as entertainment companies like Paramount Studios, Disney, Sony Pictures, and Turner Broadcasting.
In 2011, he founded Funkhaus alongside partners Drew Baker and Nicholas Dies, where he applies the design practices and systems he has learned in the world of entertainment to projects across industries. Today, David continues to steward the creative integrity of projects at Funkhaus and foster a collaborative environment through leadership of a new generation of young creatives, encouraging designers to create with conviction and without ego.
