David VanArsdale’s Summary

I am the founder of People of Resource, an Atlanta based creative agency. I believe design is a service, and that designers have a social responsibility to serve their local and global communities.

I've been known as a designer, a teacher, a photographer, a DJ, and a furniture maker.

I'm a very curious man, and I love what I do.
