Daniel Davis is a programmes manager with a wealth of experience primarily in start-ups and scale-ups across a broad range of sectors including architecture, academia, local government, real estate, hospitality, culture and technology.

In 2022 he completed studies at the Bartlett School of Architecture, receiving an MA in Architecture and Historic Urban Environments. The programme – addressing the built environment’s contribution to planetary crisis – catalysed a commitment to understanding and responding to the social, economic and environmental inequity ingrained in our built fabric, and prompted a deep interest in education’s transformative potential as an agent of positive change.

He joined the London School of Architecture in September 2023 to lead its professional learning programmes, which aim to build a culture of lifelong learning in design and construction that ultimately places the built environment sector at the vanguard of our essential transition to a green economy.

Launching in November 2023 following a successful pilot earlier in the year, his contribution spans the strategic, creative and editorial components of the programme, and aligns with his particular passion for scaling purpose-led projects, programmes and organisations.

David is the Studio Manager and is in charge of A/V and technology at LSA. David attended London School of Communication and was awarded a Bachelors degree in Interaction Design. His thesis analyses the future of augmented and mixed reality’s and how the meta verse is shaping and changing the way we think and view our reality.

He strategically plans digital systems and technical capacity. David has a range of skills in graphic design, motion graphics, music production, video editing and photography, and also in 3D work and AR.
