Hello, I’m David Hilgier.

artist, designer, photographer, painter & developer

I’m quite fond of the power inherent in communicating through the use of visual media. After a two-year stint of agency work, I’m once again out on my own. Currently I am in the process of starting my own publication with the first issue devoted to the analog photography I took while living in Firenze, Italia. Additionally, I am finalizing the initial content and design for a blog that focuses on critiques, contemplations and discussions pertaining to art design, photography and life. Finally, I have embarked on the adventure of becoming a home brewer.

You need a visual problem solved? Drop me a line, I'll fix that for you real quick-like. I am available for freelance, contract and part-time opportunities.

The name “the viale” was crafted by myself and a good friend and colleague while working on a prior iteration of this site. Searching for something unique to complement my interests and personality, the Italian word “viale” was settled on. Literally translated to “avenue” for which I felt it was an apt title. I’m on a path to something, never really sure what it is, but my work serves the route to where I am going.
