Hi, I'm Dave Tanner
I'm a graphic designer and front-end developer based in the South West of Western Australia. These days I work on product UX/UI at Buzzy building AI stuff.
About
I'm a designer and front-end developer with over 25 years of experience making work that's clear, useful, and built to last.
I've worked across agency, startup, and in-house teams. That's included everything from brand and marketing campaigns to enterprise products and platforms, along with front-end builds, content, and customer support.
I also enjoy smaller, more personal projects: t-shirt designs, illustrations, and work for friends, local groups, and community organisations.
Need one person who can connect the dots across design and front-end without turning it into a whole production? That's usually where I fit best. I can help with:
- Brand, identity & illustration
- UX & UI design
- Design systems & component libraries
- Front-end development (HTML, CSS, JS)
- Rapid prototyping & MVPs
- Web design & build
- Content design & UX writing
- Accessibility & performance tuning
Clients
Some teams and brands I've worked with include:
- Toyota
- Optus
- AMP
- Samsung
- Media Prima (Malaysia)
- Symantec
- Nickelodeon
- BHP Billiton
- The Sydney Opera House
- Precisely
- Eurapco
- ...and plenty of smaller local legends too.
Big brand, small business, community group, same approach: practical, thoughtful work that actually helps.
