about
the person, the skills, and what's current
I'm Brandon, a digital designer trained in architectural drafting. Architecture is where I started and it's still the thing I'm most curious about, but drafting turned out to be a way into digital design rather than a career of its own.
What carried over was a way of working: measure it, structure it, then draw it. I work across visual identity, digital design, and interaction, and I build most of what I design, including this site. I'm early in my career, learning quickly, and looking for somewhere to keep doing that with people who know more than I do.
