Born in Quito, Ecuador, David Trujillo is the Design Director at Wieden+Kennedy, Portland, with 12 years of experience in design and art direction for clients like VISA, Lilly, Kentucky Fried Chicken, Nike, Fisher-price and Old Spice, and more.

David specializes in visual communications and cross-culture design thinking. He’s responsible for developing campaigns delivered with a distinct point of view and at the service of specific client goals. David’s goal is to create new ventures utilizing non-traditional mediums that can unlock competitive opportunities for brands. His work has been recognized by design and culture publications like Communication Arts, GQ, and SNL and his work has been awarded by The Cannes Lions Awards, The Webbys, and D&AD Pencils.

In his free time, David uses the power of design to help solve current community needs. In 2020, David teamed up with a Portland trauma Doctor and they launched an isolation gown alternative to benefit and protect health care workers fighting in the frontlines of the COVID pandemic and amidst critical PPE shortages. The project was fully funded and helped Oregon healthcare workers stay alive. And in 2021, David flipped a dormant performance venue in Reno, NV, and relaunched it as The Theatre as a new creative platform to benefit local performers who were impacted by the global pandemic. David lives in Portland, OR, and spends his days exploring his photographic diary on Instagram, sharing a meal with friends, and pushing his strength training with his coach.
