Hi, I'm David Rice.

I’ve worn many hats over the years, identifying interchangeably and often concurrently as a musician, photographer, composer, producer, digital designer, and filmmaker. On especially good days, like today, I fancy myself an artist.

I've been told I bring to the table a cocktail of imaginative insight and creative execution, each of which I enjoy immensely.

My clients are primarily foundations and nonprofits, though I do occasionally still work with consumer brands (particularly those hoping to be mistaken for a foundation or nonprofit). I'm sensitive to the unique politics of each, and have a knack for ticking the boxes without compromising the work.

Along the way I've earned a Clio Award, two Emmy nominations, and, by admittedly tenuous association, a Grammy nomination—welcome consolations for the plenty projects that never got off the ground.

Lastly and because of its prescience, I'll mention College Presidents for Civic Preparedness, the innovative consortium convened by the Institute for Citizens & Scholars. I built the program website and have interviewed a number of key academics for an ongoing video series.

My wife and I moved from Austin to San Francisco in 2024.
