"I had Dave in my team at HTC/Vive for 3 years and I considered him the rockstar of the lot. He is deeply talented, resourceful, hard working, self driven and - really, really fast. What makes it all the better is that this complete package comes with a positive and gentle personality that is a pleasure to be around every day. My team members look up to Dave and his ability to find creativity with any challenge. He is a designer that is not easily compartmentalized, because his skills are so broad.

"Working with Dave Brinda was both a pleasure and an honor. I had the opportunity to work alongside Dave during my time at HTC, and I was always impressed with his ability to take initiative, learn new technologies, and to produce design work that's so crisp and polished it could easily be mistaken for an entire team's output. Dave is experienced as a few of us are. He truly has been "there," and has most definitely "done that" – and along the way has deeply affected the field of consumer electronics and more. The most impressive thing about Dave isn't even his (incredible) work – it's that he's a tremendous human being who's a delight to work with."
