Hey there, I'm David Gopar

Hey there, I'm David Gopar

A father, husband, amateur cyclist, and designer. My journey into design started early, with a background in Fine Arts during high school, a degree in Graphic Design, and a Master’s in UX/UI Design. From the beginning, I was drawn to user experience and interface design, working on and leading technology-based projects.
Over the past 12 years, I have focused on designing digital products for complex systems, where decisions matter and systems need to perform at their best.
I’m passionate about helping organizations transform complex operations into guided, clear, and reliable digital experiences, designing products that support decision-making and reduce friction in critical operational workflows.

Beyond my career, I have had the opportunity to teach design at the Universidad Internacional de La Rioja. I have also taken part in working groups for the creation of Spain’s first design code of ethics.
On a more personal note, I live on the island of Gran Canaria and I’m the father of an enthusiastic child. I have always had a passion for sport. I was a professional futsal player for many years, and over the past 8 years, much of my life has been on two wheels: the bicycle.
Whenever life gives me a moment to breathe, I love escaping into nature. It’s my way of shifting my attention away from screens and reconnecting with myself.
