David is a talented and creative professional whose design ability spans from critiquing master planning to fine details on lighting and interior space planning. He creates excellent client-facing presentations and documents that help bring our vision and concept to life. He is a true team player and nothing that is asked of him is too much. I look forward to continuing to work with David on any forthcoming projects.

David Swift is one of the finest management consultants with whom I’ve worked. Not only is he a skilled strategist and designer, he is also an extremely effective communicator.
I have often turned to David when solving complex strategic problems, and have consistently benefitted from his astuteness and solid good sense.
He has been critical to our team’s success in the last six months, and has been proficient, collegiate, and a real pleasure to work with.
experience design - Jacqueline adriano - ux lead, glencore
I felt really lucky to work with and learn from David in helping enable {client} to reach their customers with the most coherent and influential experience possible. In a world where disruption is the status quo,
David is one of the few people I’ve met who understands how to translate “innovation” into a requirement for creating the best possible future for customers.
Not only that, he has a talent for bringing those around him, even the most skeptical, along for the ride. He adapts to challenges that arise flexibly, always calm, and executes quickly and flawlessly.
His positive attitude and good sense of humour are infectious, I’ll always look forward to working with him again.
experience design - Abdul Mullick - Head of Digital Transformation, Sky
I worked with David for a number of months on a key project. David’s contribution to this piece of work was significant.
David was able to really hit the ground running as a result of his ability to absorb new information at speed. His commercial understanding, ability to assimilate complex information and simplify things was very strong and helped the team move at pace.
Coupled with his obvious business skills his whole approach and attitude was absolutely first class. I’d love the opportunity to work with David again at some point soon.
