dailey crafton, creative director

i love design, and i love to use the passion and drive i have for good design to communicate good ideas effectively. there's never a good excuse for bad design.

i live in the williamsburg neighborhood of brooklyn, ny with my wife, michelle, and daughter, chloe. below are images of my particpation in in the 2007 new york city cut & paste digital design tournament and the live from bklyn studios (i.e. the desk in my dining room), where the magic happens. you can also find me on facebook as well as the live from bklyn facebook fan page. check out the live from bklyn blog, where i make observations about outstanding examples of design, as well as interview fresh designers.

dave wallace, business director
before joining live from bklyn, i worked as a senior accountant at a public accounting firm where i led multiple audit and tax engagements for clients in a wide range of
industries including not-for-profit, service, retail, and manufacturing. i've guided start-up companies through the process of establishing themselves and producing positive cash flow. i've interacted closely with senior management of large corporations in order to focus their business strategy and increase profit margins. here at live from bklyn,
i bring a business mind to the company. i merge my love for art and design with my expertise in business operations to help our clients realize their potential through the art
of visual communications.
