Hey there!
I'm Bryan, a Creative Director and Art Director living in the Chicagoland area. On Southside Chicago I was born and raised; on the photoshop is where I've spent most of my days. I've always been a creative person and I love to create things. Whether those things are perfect for the client, a bit out there, or just something fun that I think of. My mind never stops working and ideas never stop filling up my notebook. Hit me up if you like something on my site or stalk me on social media for some solid memes.

It’s not an award but I’m pretty proud that I was able to speak to some high school students about the world of advertising and pursuing their dreams. Check it here.
