About

My name is David Sorensen, and I believe that the number of underappreciated artists and creatives in this world is too damn high. My mission is to fix that.


As a designer and web developer, I do that by creating virtual spaces that highlight the incredible work that people out there are doing. Whether you're a musician, actor, culinarian, poet, sculptor, cinematographer, novelist, painter, stylist, mechanic, playwright, weaver, potter, blacksmith, chef, cosmetologist, arborist, photographer, videographer, calligrapher, woodworker, luthier, or cobbler...
