GROUP C - Key Persons
Here's the thing to know about Brad: he loves design, but he really loves talking to people, zeroing in on their challenges, and then pulling a well-designed rabbit out of his hat to solve them.
Before arriving at graphic design, Brad studied physics, then English, then architecture-not quite the standard education for a graphic designer, but excellent training for a business advisor who uses design to communicate at a strategic level.
