David Miller
Founder & Creative Director
David founded Arshan in 2014 after a decade leading brand teams at agencies in London and New York. He has art-directed identities for over 120 brands and still sketches every first idea in pencil.
Biography
Born in Toronto and trained in graphic design at Central Saint Martins, David believes the best brands are built from one honest idea, expressed with courage. At Arshan he leads creative direction across every project and mentors the studio’s design team.
Outside the studio he teaches a brand-identity class at Parsons and is slowly restoring a 1970s Italian racing bike.
