David Bianciardi is the founder and principal of AV&C - a globally recognized experience design studio based in New York City that creates digital landmarks in the physical world.  

AV&C’s interdisciplinary team of designers, technologists, engineers, software developers, and producers delivers software-driven experiential installations for forward-thinking clients seeking to foster deeper connections with their audiences in the built environment.  

Bianciardi began his career as a musician, composer, and a sound designer and quickly found that using software and technology to make things talk to each other was useful in creating “designed experiences” and “connected places”.  As clients started exploring their roles as storytellers and appreciating how we could help, the business came into being, along with an evolving art practice.
