About David Card

Founder & CEO at https://c42d.com

Hi, I am David Card, Founder & CEO of C42D, one of NYC's premier branding agencies. I founded C42D over ten years ago as a solo freelancer and built it from the ground up. Along the way, I recruited and hired at least 25 employees, reviewed over 1000 candidates, and learned about every aspect of running a design company. We've worked with Facebook, Google, Reebok, Ogilvy, Shazam, Chanel, YouTube, Foundation Capital, and too many startups to mention.

I help designers with portfolio advice/ reviews, how to get hired or succeed in starting their own freelance business. Believe me, I have made tons of mistakes and learned many lessons. Let's chat!
