Celebrate good.

Dave Baker

Managing Director

At BitterSweet Creative, Dave leads teams to deliver design and branding, website projects, compelling video content, and effective digital projects for a wide variety of companies and nonprofits across numerous industries. Their work has earned prestigious recognition, clinching awards such as the W3, Webby, Telly, and Muse awards.

Having had the opportunity to travel to more than 30 countries, Dave brings a global perspective to his work. His passion lies in creative operations and he enjoys collaborating with designers, directors, photographers, and other creatives to bring new projects to life.

When he's not at work, he spends quality time with his wife Erica and two sons, Coen and Elias, enjoying travel and renovating homes.

Dave's professional journey has been greatly shaped by his educational experience. His advice to fellow creatives? "Never stop creating for yourself. It's easy to get trapped in the work grind for others – especially in the 'creativity as a service' industry. By creating outside the compulsory context of a paycheck, you will remain curious, inspired, and motivated."
