Hello
My name is David T. Hsia (that’s SHAH). I’m a Taipei-born, LA-bred creative director that loves sweating the details and is a sucker for a good beat. With over 15 years of experience in visual design, art direction and branding, I’ve worked on and managed just about every kind of creative brief from clients of varying fields, Fortune 100 to home office. Off-hours, I’m usually record-digging and writing about my collection.

SanDisk Brand
Brand refresh for the flash memory manufacturer. After being acquired by Western Digital, there was a desire to give the SanDisk brand an update and distinguish it from other brands in the portfolio. The ask was to re-position SanDisk to be less focused on tech and more lifestyle driven.
