David Clark was originally born in High Point, North Carolina, and raised in Hickory—once the furniture-making capital of the nation. After graduating from Savannah College of Art & Design, David relocated to California where he spent several years working in the fields of graphic design and art direction. This lent him a unique understanding of how brand experiences could be brought to life within physical, inhabited spaces through interior & architectural design. Soon thereafter he found himself in pursuit of a more hands-on career in furniture design and fabrication.

In his current role as the founder and creative director of Kartwheel, David is known for juxtaposing unexpected materials, pairing the raw and unrefined with high-end sophistication. Overall David’s eclectic background and varied skills have instilled a passion for thoughtful, multifaceted design solutions and uniquely curated objects and materials.
