About David
David McFadden founded Consulting For Architects, Inc. in 1984, pioneering project-based, flex-core staffing for architects and designers — and built it into a national operation spanning New York, Chicago, and Boston, featured in Engineering News-Record, Interior Design, Architectural Record, and Progressive Architecture.
A Pratt- and Miami-trained designer himself, David has spent four decades matching design talent with the firms that need it, training countless design professionals through CFA's award-winning Autodesk division — many still applying those skills in practice today.
What David places
- Founder-led account relationships with principal architects & firm leadership
- Project-based, flex-core, and permanent placement strategy
