"Having a style is like being in jail."

Brian is a creative leader that has been building and managing teams that help brands grow for more than 20 years. Currently he is Managing Creative Director at CMD Agency in Portland, Oregon and has a diverse background in B2C and B2B marketing and advertising. He has lead creative across integrated, omni-channel campaigns in digital experience, video, print, OOH, branding, and content development for clients such as Apple, ASUS, Gates, Jeld-Wen, Johnstone Supply, HP, Intel, Microsoft, Samsung, and Nike, to name a few. I am happiest when leading creative teams as they solve complex problems and craft solutions for brands who wish to positively influence their customers and leave a lasting impression. Experience design, strategic vision, brand communications, operational oversight and creative instinct are all important aspects of my day-to-day responsibilities. And one more thing ... having fun doing it.

When I am not working, I enjoy mentoring/coaching students and new career professionals, gardening, doing improv, volunteering Portland Public School restoration and modernization committees, going to see live music and moonlighting as an amateur chef and mixologist.
