    Dave Buonaguidi on Screen Printing: “This is My Chance to Flourish”

    We discover the joy of surrendering to your creativity, and changing your career at 50, with Dave Buonaguidi We all remember 2020, it was a significant year for everyone. But it happened to be the year when Dave Buonaguidi left his 35 year career in advertising to begin life as a full time artist, all at the age of 50. His advertising portfolio was an impressive one; he’d worked as a creative director before setting up his own agency Karmarama in 2000, and later, the world’s first co-operative agency, St Luke's. But when you’ve carved a prolific advertising career for yourself, and are still lacking the creative freedom you crave, “it’s time to get out.” Dave found himself at Print Club London, a screen printing studio in East London, where a hobby soon turned into something he simply couldn’t stop. Almost two years on, his career change has turned out very well.
