Ongoing Project
about
the person, the skills, and what's current
I'm Brandon. A digital designer trained in architectural drafting, working across brand identity, interaction, and motion. My intent is to make things that outlast the moment they were made for. Most of what gets built now is built to a checklist and forgotten on schedule, and I'd rather make spaces, digital and physical, that are worth staying in.
I'm drawn toward texture, ambience, and belonging, whether digital, physical, or somewhere in between. The things that last tend to be made with intent rather than to specification, and I want to spend my career closing the distance between the drawing and the thing itself. Not doing it differently for its own sake, but because standard is a shape that fits nobody in particular. I'm early in this and looking for somewhere I can contribute while learning from people who know far more than I do.
Marks, type, and the rules that keep them consistent.
