Hi. I'm Brian. A seasoned creative leader with advertising, brand design, retail, merchandising & integrated marketing/promotions experience. My career began in Philly, then I moved to Chicago in 2003 in search of bigger challenges and growth opportunities in the career I love.
Who have I worked with? A diverse list of top regional and national companies & brands including: SC Johnson, Motorola, The NJ Wildwoods, Campbell's Soup, Crest, Pantene, Nyquil, ARMY, AT&T Wireless, McDonald's, Whirlpool, Boyd Gaming, Sara Lee, Jimmy Dean, Hillshire Farm, Ball Park, Kawasaki, Kraft, Kellogg's, ConAgra Foods, Mike's Hard Lemonade, Kimberly Clark and U.S. Cellular. But you probably already know that if you've been looking around my site.
How do I work? By making an emotional connection with my audience through, empathy, wit, humor & well-crafted design. By drawing inspiration from multiple design disciplines, gaining the perspective and insight necessary to create unique solutions that make the customer experience (and by extension the brands) better. And by working with like-minded colleagues who inspire one another with a passion for the work and a desire to enjoy doing it.
Are you with me? Then let's put this art to work.
