INFO — David Hirotsu

Hi, I'm David.

I'm a designer in Los Angeles with a passion for quality, usability, and performance.

I've had the privilege of designing products and brands with amazing people. I have served on several accolade winning teams over my career with recognition from Awwwards Site of the Day, the Clio Awards and a few other mentions along the way. But awards are after the fact; they don't actually motivate me. To learn more about my motivations as a designer, see "Why I Design".

Currently I am a Principal Product Designer at Docusign, working with international teams on next-generation AI tools to help companies manage the over $90 trillion of global economic activity that relies on agreements each year.

I am named as an inventor on 4+ US and international design patents and hold diplomas in Design | Media Arts and Mathematics / Economics from UCLA, which is the basis for my cross disciplinary viewpoint in designing products.
