I write words that help people use websites and apps.

Hi, I'm Dave. I'm a UX writer, content designer, copywriter, and creator with over 15 years of experience doing what I do.

I live in the Denver area with my wife, two sons, and three dogs. Outside of my day job, I'm one of the most watched YouTube Creators in Denver, the Chief Operating Officer of My Denver Therapy, one of Denver's largest therapy practices and therapist supervision businesses in Colorado. I'm also an SEO consultant for local businesses, including one of the top wedding planners in New York City.

I've been lucky to work at some pretty cool places, including Google, Cash App, Rotten Tomatoes, Fox Interactive Media, The Honest Company, and Charter Communications.

I'm one of a small handful of UX writers who has worked on multiple products used by over a billion people. I'm also one of the few who feels equally comfortable creating content as a UX writer, marketing copywriter, and support content manager. If you need someone to write everything, I write (almost) everything.

While almost every UX writer has contributed to individual features, I've helped teams launch and relaunch full products, including Google Play Music (now YouTube Music), Google Play Newsstand, Firebase, Spectrum Mobile, Spectrum News, My Spectrum, and Cash App Taxes.

I have written for the world's largest app store, most popular operating system, along with the United States' fastest-growing mobile provider and second-largest cable provider. I currently write for Cash App, one of the top apps in the United States.

I've worked on big products, and I've also built startups from the ground up. I'm a people-motivated person, and I've been lucky to work with a lot of really great people along the way.

At work and in life, I'm a flexible person. I've worked on media, support, commerce, operating system, finance, and account management products designed for user, developer, and enterprise audiences. I've worked on sexy products and not-so-sexy products, and I've enjoyed aspects of both because I enjoy the work itself.

I've successfully managed designers, content managers, copywriters, and product teams, but I really enjoy being an individual contributor and writing stuff that's clear, concise, helpful, and maybe even a little delightful. 

Most importantly, I love what I do, and I do my best to bring that attitude to work every day.

YouTube

One of the most watched YouTubers in Denver

I'm also Dave Chung on YouTube

If you were looking for Dave Chung on YouTube, that's also me! Across YouTube and Newsbreak, my local videos about living Denver and product reviews have received over 2 million views. 

While I love making videos to show people around or provide a review of something cool, I've also created unique videos for brands for affiliate relationships, brand insertions, social campaigns, and launching new products and services, both locally and nationally.

When working with brands, I pride myself on being easy to work with, flexible, and my rates are much more affordable than most influencers because I write, film, and edit all of my content myself.

I love to create helpful, engaging videos for real people, but my videos for brands have also helped sell subscriptions, drive foot traffic, build awareness, and empowered businesses to reach new local and national audiences.  

If you're looking to partner on YouTube, I'm happy to explore how we can make something great together.

I'm always up for hearing about exciting things that I can help with around Denver or remotely. I love working on contract projects to help teams out.

For UX writing projects, I'm not a technical writer, UX researcher, or a product designer, but I've worked with some good ones. 

If you're interested in partnering on a YouTube or influencer project, I can usually get it going very quickly.

When I'm not writing for work, I'm usually filming YouTube videos for my channel or helping my wife operate My Denver Therapy, one of the largest, most successful, woman-owned therapy businesses in Denver.

In general, I'm only open to remote and international jobs, both contract and full-time.
