I’m Brian Douglas, an Imaging Specialist with a long history of bringing big-brand visuals to life. I combine the precision of a seasoned retoucher with the eye of an illustrator, crafting visuals that connect from the first glance. Over the years, I’ve produced award-winning work for names like Tim Hortons, Starbucks, Mondelez, Kraft, Coca-Cola, Hershey, Ferrero, and Unilever, handling everything from digital illustration and photo manipulation to packaging design and production art. With over 30 years in advertising and branding, I’ve developed a hybrid skill set that bridges artistry and technical execution. I’m fluent in Photoshop, Illustrator, and Firefly, and I use Blender for 3D rendering and animation. I also integrate AI-based tools into my workflow to enhance speed and creative range. Whether it’s a complex packaging composite or a clean digital illustration, my goal is always the same: to make the image do the heavy lifting. I’d love to bring that same mix of creativity, craftsmanship, and problem-solving to your team or next project. You can see my work at _Website not available.
