Design + creative direction
I’m Brett. I work across brand identity, digital experiences, and editorial design. I care about how an idea takes shape, how it holds together, and what it feels like to put it out into the world.
I’ve never been very good at keeping my interests in separate boxes. Design, music, writing, making things. One tends to find its way into another.
My work moves between identities, websites, publications, and the systems that connect them. Sometimes that means defining the whole direction. Sometimes it means getting deep into the detail that makes it work.
I like being close to both.
Brand, digital, and editorial projects. A few different ways the work takes shape.

Some favorite marks from over the years.
From the first idea to the thing you can actually use.
01
Finding a point of view and giving it a visual language. An identity needs to feel like itself wherever it shows up.
02
Bringing the character of a brand into the way a website or product works. Structure, interaction, and the small decisions that make the whole thing feel considered.
03
Working with type, imagery, and pacing to give a story its own presence. I still care about what happens when you turn the page.
“We used Brett when we first launched our brand, not only to create our brand logo, but also to build out our entire brand guide. We use this guidance in all of our packaging, website and marketing efforts and follow it religiously. Doing so has made the brand seem more professional, mature and elevated. We hear positive comments about our branding all of the time.”
A practice that crosses disciplines.
Design
Independent brand, digital, and creative direction work, from identity through application.
Advocacy
Designer advocacy, connecting design practice with the tools and workflows used to make the work.
Editorial
Editorial identity and publication design, bringing a consistent visual voice to the printed page.
