About David

I help people express themselves on the web for a living, but was initially shy about telling my own story. I started this blog in 2012 to share about my quest to adopt kids with my husband Jay. We’ve been through placement, foster parenting, adoption finalization. We got married when it was suddenly legal. And then we kept at it. We’re about to send one to college!

The Work Bio

David has a Master’s in Rhetoric from UC Berkeley, and is fascinated by the entire communication process, words as well as images. He loves applying user-based principles to web design, and thinks systematically about projects. He can speak in plain, clear language about goals and outcomes, and translate geek into English. He taught high school before moving into corporate communications, and by 2000 his freelancing in web and print design grew into David Kerr Design. David is able to bridge the highly technical and highly emotional, which must come together for a successful project.
