The Evolution of a Creative

and His Hairline

 

I have never been able to quite describe what it is that I do. I usually group it all under the umbrella of graphic design. But it’s not really just graphic design. I take artsy photos. I draw things constantly. I write. I direct animation or live action. I show work in galleries. I sort of like to try a lot of things out.

 

The moment I begin to feel too comfortable, I change something or try something new. Change is good. This natural desire to evolve and to create a path for myself has been something I have been fortunate enough to do. Come join me for a brief moment where I reflect on how I have evolved as a designer and maybe you too will see how you have evolved or can evolve.

 

Brian received his BFA in Graphic Communication at the University of Houston in 2001 graduating Magna Cum Laude. Since then he's been involved in a wide variety of projects both small and large. They've ranged from art directing Apple iPod tv spots, to Black Eyed Peas music videos, to pro bono posters for KCRW, to rebranding ESPN U. At the moment, he is currently freelancing in sunny Santa Monica, CA working with ad agencies, production companies, and direct to client. Above most all, he enjoys putting smiles on faces.
