Brian is drawn to the challenges that come with limitations, the narrow confines that put a premium on craft and competency. He possesses a unique ability to toe the boundaries of these confines without ever actually crossing them. His job is to create within constraints and design within brand guidelines, but he always makes sure that playing within the rules doesn’t limit our capacity to execute beyond expectations.

Even outside of the office, you can find him mastering rigorous tasks that require refined technique. On weeknights, Brian plays futsal, a game that constricts the expansive soccer field down to a tight space where the only way to score is to keep close control of the ball at all times. He also bakes rye bread, a centuries-old process that spits out sticky mush unless you get the steps just right.
