After 25 years of dedicating himself to the transformative power of graphic design within the salon industry, David Linde is hanging up his own shingle, offering up his services as part of Linde Marketing Design.
“My passion lies in crafting effective marketing and promotional materials that not only capture attention but also drive business growth and boost revenue,” he says. “I firmly believe that a well thought-out design can significantly enhance both retail and service sales, bridging the gap between aesthetic appeal and practical results. And, I’m excited to connect with salon owners and managers, and explore how we can elevate the salon experience through the art of design.”
Linde built a career on translating creative vision into business results. As a seasoned graphic designer and salon owner, he’s developed impactful branding for high-end salons and innovative product lines, bringing esthetics and strategy together to drive real engagement and revenue growth. His design portfolio includes logos, packaging, promotional campaigns and digital media.
Examples of Linde's work on an Oribe promotional campaign.
“I stay ahead of trends and technologies, ensuring my clients stand out in a fast-moving market,” he says. “my strength lies in turning abstract ideas into market-ready identities that resonate with both stylists and clients.”
As a partner and owner in three successful salons over the past two decades, he’s worn every hat from creative direction to operational leadership. He’s also mentored dozens of professionals, many of whom have gone on to lead teams and build brands of their own.
