Blue Hummingbird Foods
Marketing and Brand Consultant
Rebranded their entire business from designing over 500 unique product labels across 5 categories of products, with a unique color scheme so customers can easily identify the flavor, allergen and type of product. I rebuilt their website from scratch and took every photo. I made effective marketing videos. I implemented a Point of Sale checkout, and put barcodes on all their product labels so now they can track their sales. I trademarked their new logo and contracted out Christian Dunbar to make their logo.

Projects
Together, we are marrying Recess’ technology and our facilities and membership to bring the health and community benefits of team sports to more communities.
We believe Recess offers accessibility and a price point that can provide more access to adult recreation for the majority of Pueblo’s adults. With more than half of adults no longer participating in team sports after high school, we believe Recess will be successful in its mission to increase adult participation in team sports
David is not the kind of person you can sum up in a few short sentences. Dave is a Rockstar! Always has been, always will be. He has that one of a kind mentality that drives him to be the best not matter what he is doing. I have seen him at his peaks and his valleys, and no matter what, he maintains his status as an inquisitive, ambitious, and optimistic individual. David always brings his “rockstar energy” to technology project teams. After working in three start-up teams together, I can say, ‘if you don’t know his name, you will one day.’ His capacity to be disciplined and ability to focus on business goals fare exceeds that of many young professionals. Dave is a driven, growth-oriented, and creative force that will challenge you to see things outside of the box. I would recommend working with him any day.
David is a phenomenal marketer and business leader. His determination to make your business successful by any means necessary, is honorable, in a time when anyone can call themselves a consultant. Our sales funnel from our ad campaign strategy to our website and email marketing is completely up to date with the best industry standards, thanks to David. I’d recommend him any day.
