David Sargent is an Australian designer and educator living and working on Jagera and Turrbal land.

He is Creative Director of Liveworm, a work-integrated learning incubator within the Queensland College of Art & Design (QCAD), Griffith University. Liveworm operates as a working design studio for students to engage with a broad range of ‘real world’ projects for not-for-profit, cultural, educational, and small to medium commercial clients.
