Hey there! My name is Brandi and I have been in the design industry professionally for 8 years now. I have worked in creative agencies learning a multitude of skills from setting up files for print to digital based design like web and motion graphics. I love to work with a balance of independence and collaboration. As a creative, I like to explore my own ideas and come up with my own solutions for problems but on the flip side, I enjoy bouncing ideas off of others or getting outside opinions to help elevate the solution. I have a strong sense of brand and believe in finding ways to make clients stand out I. Their industry while staying true to their overall perception, mission, voice and values. Outside of design, I enjoy hanging out with my 10 year old Collie, Callie, hanging at the beach finding unique shells or thrifting treasures.
