Brian started playing in visual mediums at a very early age. Influenced by monsters from old horror movies and the comics that his older brother collected, he would spend hours drawing monsters and creating his own comics (usually with scribbles of black text for the words). He continued to draw and paint and write well into his formative years and he still does it (although not nearly as often as he would like). These days he applies his love of art and design to the work that he is currently doing in the field of advertising. He currently works as a integrated executive creative director at Saatchi & Saatchi in New York. Prior to that he worked as a Creative Director at the small, agile and very talented ROKKAN and before that he served as Creative Director at JWT New York. He has been working in advertising since 1998 when he started coding websites in HTML using notepad and while it is true that his expertise is in digital he happily works in any and all mediums. He has created work for clients like: Ford, Revlon, 2K Games, Microsoft, Jet Blue, Trident Gum, Stride Gum, Macy's, Johnson & Johnson, Rock The Vote and many more. He has received numerous awards and recognition from the likes of: The FWA, Cannes Cyber Lions, One Show Interactive, Pixel Awards, Webby Awards, Effie Awards, Design Charts, Designer's Toolbox, Dope Awards, Ad Critic, IMA Awards, W3 Awards, Davey Awards, Adrian Awards and more. In his limited free time he likes to play music. He currently resides at his home in Brooklyn, NY.
