We are Full Concept, Design & Execution
Kartwheel’s designs, led by Creative Director David Clark, address the creative needs for a variety of clients. Our multidisciplinary approach allows us to cast a wide net so that we can lend our style and expertise to a variety of projects that walk through the door. Based in Austin, Texas, we accept projects from around the globe.
Background + Expertise
Kartwheel stands on the strength of founder David Clark’s skill, passion, and specific vision that he brings to each job. His handpicked staff collaborates on projects and together the company builds-out custom projects from initial concept to final build. Each project pulls from the diverse skill set of each Kartwheel member, through which our work finds its direction.
Beyond his manufacturing talent, David’s creative insight is fueled by extensive experience in art direction and a degree in graphic design. Kartwheel capitalizes on these capabilities and excels in transforming conceptual branding objectives into dynamic 3D spaces.
Building custom furniture honed his focus on detail and consistent quality. Experience leading construction projects built his knowledge in project management and prioritization of timelines and working within a budget. Kartwheel rose out of the repeated success of this hands-on education.
Strong family ties set the roots for David’s work with Kartwheel. His mother, an interior designer, and his father, a furniture designer, raised him with an innate understanding of spaces and the impact they have on people. Originally from North Carolina, David has lived and worked all over the country. Today, he divides his time working on Kartwheel projects between Austin and Los Angeles.

Concept / Design
We listen to our clients’ needs and intentions in order to create spaces that remain true to brand identity, while demonstrating how their goals will meld with the aesthetic particulars of a Kartwheel creation.
Custom Art Pieces & Installations
For commercial or residential clients, Kartwheel can deliver individual art pieces or boutique installations that breathe life into existing spaces where a full renovation is either impractical or unnecessary.
General Contracting / Project Management
In addition to developing concepts for clients, Kartwheel also works with partners that already have defined visual brands but seek a specific collaborator to execute their ideas at the highest level of quality. Before we could run our business as a full-service design firm, we learned to walk by cranking out high-quality general contracting work and we still excel in this field.
Furniture Design
Kartwheel excels in custom furniture design that offers soulful accessories to amplify your space or product line.
