Hello,
I’m Brian

As a self-starter,
I aim to challenge the status quo
by doing what hasn’t been done before.
Or seen as “acceptable” by the rule book.

I have the mindset of an entrepreneur,
constantly thinking of ways to innovate
and solve problems differently.

I’m nimble and can
make something out of nothing.
Seriously, just take a look at Soulo—a brand that
I crafted every last detail for. From art direction, design, photography, copywriting and brand strategy.
Oh and business development too.

My end goal is simple:
shift perceptions and positively influence culture.
The execution of this is what takes time and patience.
