Dave Pollard

Co-founder & Creative Director

As one of the founders of LivCo, Dave can almost always be found with a coffee cup in his hand or in his near vicinity. Growing up in Richmond, Virginia he was attracted to residential architecture from an early age as he sketched floor plans for fun and absorbed copious amounts of 80’s sitcoms. He stayed in Virginia to study Architecture and Building Construction at Virginia Tech, and moved to Chicago after receiving his bachelor’s degree. Dave worked for several leading design firms in Chicago, including Optima and Goettsch Partners, where he grew his architectural knowledge before branching out to become the director of design for a residential developer. Some of Dave’s other credentials include being a member of AIA, and a LEED Accredited Professional. He also holds a Master of Architecture from the Illinois Institute of Technology and is a current board member for NARI Greater Chicago. Dave has 3 young kids and is a voracious hockey-Dad, often traveling with his twin sons’ team on the weekends. He is extremely proud of his backyard rink which he manages during the winter months. He is also a self-proclaimed Lego Master, but we believe him – wouldn’t you?
