About Brian
For more than twelve years, I’ve worked across brand, digital experience, and content production. I stay close to the craft because it helps me give clearer direction, solve problems earlier, and keep the work connected from the first brief through delivery.

My story
I’ve always been interested in what makes an idea land—how the right message, image, and experience can help people understand something, trust it, and decide what to do next.
That curiosity has taken me through identity design, UX/UI, web development, photography, filmmaking, editing, studio production, and corporate communications. Over time, the disciplines changed, but the responsibility became clearer: see the whole assignment, set the direction, and help everyone involved move toward the same result.
Today I lead creative work across brand, digital, and film. I also direct production through Studio Thirty Media. It is the same point of view and the same standard, applied to a dedicated production practice.
Away from project work, I’m usually photographing everyday moments, studying how people communicate, or developing ideas around creativity, leadership, and growth.
Good design makes the complex feel clear.
What I bring
Discipline across disciplines
Creative Direction
Setting the point of view, visual standard, and decision framework that keep the assignment focused.
Brand & Experience Systems
Connecting identity, messaging, digital touchpoints, and content so the public experience feels like one brand.
Content & Production Leadership
Turning the direction into a production plan, then carrying the work through the shoot, edit, delivery, and repeatable workflow.
Cross-Functional Leadership
Helping stakeholders, creative partners, technical teams, and production crews make decisions around the same objective.
Hands-On Craft
Using practical experience in design, film, photography, editing, and web production to make stronger calls and protect the quality of the final work.
How I show up
A more thoughtful way forward
Ask before I answer.
I want to understand the audience, the pressure behind the assignment, and what the work actually needs to change.
Make the direction clear.
People do better work when the point of view, priorities, and standard are easy to understand.
Stay close to the team.
I collaborate across roles, translate between disciplines, and address problems before they become expensive.
Finish what I lead.
I take responsibility for the quality of the work from concept through delivery.
