BBM Designs: Team
Dave Kobrenski
Designer, Programmer
With a background in illustration and graphic design, Dave Kobrenski uses his creative talents in both the fine and graphic arts realms, with the ability to effectively work across varied disciplines. His rich illustrations demonstrate an evolving talent with brush and paint, and provide the basis for his design sensibility, while his proficiency with computer and code allows him to merge creativity with functionality, producing professional-quality graphics for print and web. A self-taught “coder,” Dave is adept at creating complex, database-driven web applications, utilizing PHP, MySQL, CSS, XHTML, and DOM-based javascript in his work.
In his spare time, Dave writes, arranges, and performs music, and has studied music extensively in West Africa. He plays the Fula flute, kamale ngoni (10-string harp), djembe, and guitar. He currently performs in the groups Donkilo! Afro Funk Orkestra as well as the Landaya Ensemble.
