I would give Dave 10 stars if I could. I could not be happier with my mural and all others who have seen it thus far are truly amazed. Dave was receptive to feedback along the way, creative and kept the area he worked in very clean. To be honest I was sad when he was finished and am already thinking about another project with Dave. If you are thinking about a mural instead of wallpaper to make a space fun and unique - go for it!

Dave was off-the -charts professional in every sense of the word. Add to that, he delivered a finished product that was exactly what I envisioned and at a super-fair price.

We went through many rounds of creative decisions before deciding what we needed David to do. He came up with lots of options and was patient with our process. Once the direction was decided, he determined the best way to achieve the visual we wanted, and he executed the project quickly and with great care. He was fantastic to deal with, and we are VERY satisfied with the result. Our team's VP was on site at the end, and she was also very complimentary and had positive feedback. Overall, a terrific experience working with David. Thanks!
