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 it’s 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. I’m currently a Creative Director for Molson Coors In-House Agency VOLT where we’re slanging beers, award winning work and going viral online. Hit me up if you wanna chat.
