David Frey is a creative technologist and product-minded frontend leader with a decade of experience building user-centered web and app experiences, most recently serving as Director of Frontend Engineering at Flume Health and now freelancing in digital app development, UX, and strategy. Trained as an artist (MFA and BFA in painting and photography), he blends visual storytelling and curatorial sensibility with pragmatic engineering to shape compelling interfaces and creative ventures. He’s led cross-functional teams and shipped production frontends at media and commerce brands as well as healthcare startups, comfortable moving between hands-on UI work and strategic product discussions. Known for helping teams clarify ideas and find creative rhythm, he pairs technical discipline with a curator’s eye for detail and human connection. Based in San Diego, he frames code as one medium among many—“Code Pixels Paint Clay”—and often approaches development with an artist’s curiosity and a storyteller’s focus.
