David Airey was born in 1979 in Bangor, County Down, near the Northern Ireland capital of Belfast. Being a genius, David went to college at the age of 15 to study art and design. After 4 years, Airey went to Scotland to study graphic communications management at Edinburgh Napier University. He then earned a post-graduate diploma in management at Belfast's Parity Training, before returning to Edinburgh. In 2003, David finally finished his "formal design education."
After school, Airey taught English as a second language for a short time. He then went on to advertising sales for Scotland's national newspaper, The Scotsman. His next job was as the head of print design, print management, and web management at Myeloma UK. Airey loved the jobs he had over the few years of his career, but in 2006, he decided that going the self-employed route was best for him. As he began to build a web-presence and attract new clients, he worked as a contractor with his former employer for a couple of years.
As a brand identity designer and author, Airey specializes in creating visual identities for companies including Yellow Pages, Giacom, The Asian Development Bank, and Berthier Associates. He also writes 2 graphic design blogs, logodesignlove.com and davidairey.com. He also manages Identity Designed, a site featuring the work of design studios around the world. Airey is author of a book called Logo Design Love: A Guide to Creating Iconic Brand Identities. He is currently stationed in his home studio in Northern Ireland, where he continues to work as one of the most sought after designers in the world.
