About
Hi, I’m Brad Ireland, a visual designer and creative project manager who thrives on visual storytelling, publication design, and brand systems for mission-driven institutions. I’ve designed and produced over 30 scholarly art books and countless branded materials for one of the world’s leading cultural institutions, and I’m adept at managing large-scale, content-rich design projects from concept through production.
I enjoy building scalable design systems, collaborating with printers, editors, and curators, and turning stakeholder feedback into clear, effective design outcomes. I’m highly proficient in InDesign, Photoshop, Illustrator, Acrobat, and Microsoft Office, with workflows that streamline multi-stakeholder feedback and ensure quality from pre-press to on-press color management.
