Brian is a very creative and flexible designer who holds milestones and deadlines to the highest importance. His craftsmanship is also excellent, which in this day of computers making it easy to "do it again later," sets him apart, because sometimes "doing it again later" is after that aforementioned deadline! –Chris
Brian is an outstanding colleague with an enormous work ethic and a wonderful person to have on your team. He is a talented designer, pays great attention to detail and schedule,and maintains a can do attitude. –Kate
I worked with Brian on several projects over many years at the National Archives, including annual reports, invitations, signage, presentations, and brochures. He has an elegant design style and was always very thorough and responsive in working with colleagues on diverse projects, often on very tight deadlines. Brian is a talented and creative professional, and a fun and collaborative colleague. –Stephanie
Brian is “turn key.” You don’t have to tell him what to do – he does it even before you ask him, and he does it right, the first time, every time, all the time. It’s truly remarkable when you realize he’s jugging input from almost 45 people and never drops the ball or skips a beat!
I couldn’t think of anyone else I would want to do this with. He’s truly an exceptional graphical artist, web site coordinator, project manager and editor.

Pencil and Ink
Color Creations
My pencil technique is a mix of realism and sketch. I like to combine these elements to create unique drawings.
Combing ink and pencil allows me the flexibility to define dark areas with the undertone of graphite to give unique shading.
Mixing mediums is not new to the world of art, but is a wonderful way to bring a painting or drawing to life with a mixed style.
"Above and beyond doesn't even begin to cover it! Brian is one of the most creative and observant people I've ever worked with. They took a simple social media post and transformed it into a completely personalized piece of art that just blew me away. The whole process was a delightful surprise, especially since they were so generous as to pay for the shipping of the artwork. This is a designer who isn't just talented; they are genuinely thoughtful and giving." –Liz
Brian is an absolutely amazing artist and such a gift to work with. He’s created so many beautiful pieces for my real estate business, and every time I’m blown away by his creativity, attention to detail, and ability to capture exactly what I’m envisioning—often even better than I imagined! He’s local, incredibly responsive, and genuinely cares about his work and his clients. It’s rare to find someone with both artistic talent and such a kind, professional spirit. 10/10!!! –Marylou
