David Block

I have over 30 years of practical experience in the creative industry. I have worked my way up from Production Designer, to Web/Graphic Designer, to Senior Designer, to Graphic Design Teacher. I have experience designing for a wide variety of markets, from hospitality to finance to real estate to scholastic. I hold a Bachelor's Degree in Graphic Design from The Art Institute.

I have been teaching with North Orange County ROP at El Dorado High School in the Digital Media Arts Academy since 2015. In 2018, I wrote the curriculum for three of the courses that I teach, Digital Design & Illustration, Advanced Graphic Design, and Honors Graphic Design courses, all of which have been UC approved. The Honors Graphic Design course made history as the first that North Orange County ROP has offered since their start in 1971. ​I'm also creative director for our on-campus studio called Design Rescue, staffed by my Advanced and Honors Graphic Design students at El Dorado High School's Digital Media Arts Academy.
