Hello! My name is David Smith, a Principal Designer at Teague with over 15 years of user experience design across a range of industries. For the past 7 years, I’ve been dedicated to design for defense, focusing on mission-critical systems where clarity, speed, and trust directly impact outcomes.

I bring a rigorous, human-centered approach to complex domains, helping both defense and commercial partners translate technical capabilities into intuitive tools that support decision-making under pressure. My role bridges strategy and execution, ensuring that design not only enhances usability but plays a vital role in operational effectiveness.
