👋 Hi There! I'm Brian
I've been leading design teams since 2011. After owning my own digital agency and working for companies like Staples, Engbridge, Hilit and 1-800-flowers I have over a decade of experience helping designers transition into design leadership.
That's why I created The Academy... I love helping designers like you transition into leadership faster and easier.
