After completing his school education with a focus on audiovisual media, David was able to quickly deepen his knowledge and gain valuable hands-on experience. 

​

In the first advertising agency where he worked as part of the video team, David began teaching himself AR and 3D software in his free time. Through this self-initiated learning, the agency was soon able to expand its offerings to include AR and 3D services—used in campaigns for high-profile clients such as Red Bull and Amnesty International. 

 

David quickly gained recognition within the AR Instagram filter community, particularly after securing 3rd place as a solo creator at the Facebook F8 Hackathon 2021, standing out among thousands of international participants. 

 

Alongside their work for well-known clients, David and his creative partner Agustin—together with 3D designer Georg Hampe—participated in several hackathons in their spare time. As a team, they achieved impressive international placements:

​

• 1st Place worldwide – Meta & Lenslist Hackathon 2022

• 3rd Place worldwide – Talenthouse AR Competition 2022

• 9th Place worldwide – Snapchat Fashion Month Challenge 2022

• 3rd Place worldwide – Facebook F8 Refresh Hackathon 2021

 

Following these achievements, David was invited twice to Silicon Valley—once to attend an exclusive Meta Hackathon with Pixel Adgency, and once as the only Austrian attendee at Meta Connect 2023. 

​

Today, as co-founder of a well-established creative agency, David is internationally recognized and highly regarded for his expertise in AR, 3D design, and immersive digital experiences.
