Dave Sewell

Dave believes the best digital workflows are the ones you hardly notice—tools that quietly make collaboration easier, decisions clearer, and outcomes stronger. Starting out as a civil and structural engineering apprentice, Dave first discovered digital’s transformative potential when he automated a tedious task that became standard practice. This simple fix unlocked efficiency, sparking his passion for using digital tools to transform the way we work, and to leading our digital practice in the London studio.  

Dave’s unique perspective on how people, processes, and technology intersect, empowers and inspires our designers to explore new possibilities.

Now an associate principal, Dave leads London’s digital practice group, connecting client and project teams and championing practical innovation to turn complexity into opportunity. For Dave, digital success happens when clients, designers, constructors, and end users embrace the tools and workflows he champions—delivering better buildings for the communities we serve today and into the future. 

Digi Dave (a nickname first coined by London’s marketing team—and now worryingly—across the studio), is a curry enthusiast and a frustrated but loyal West Ham supporter. He’s happiest by the coast with his family and always smiles at dogs with their heads out of car windows.
