Hey, I’m Bryan, a Creative Director at adam&eveDDB in New York. Previously at Droga5, Johannes Leonardo and BBDO.
I like making crafted work that impacts culture and makes a splash. Ideally with nice humans that also like making splashes. I’m also involved with organizations like the Ali Forney Center and have taught an ad portfolio class at the School of Visual Arts, where students have made work like this, this and this. I’m originally from Texas, now based in Brooklyn and dream of one day living full time inside of this commercial.
