Michael Braley: Braley Design is a partnership between Kate Davis and myself, with me as Creative Director, and Kate in both creative and account direction roles. She has a BFA in apparel design from the Rhode Island School of Design, and her experience for over 20 years was in managing creative teams and partners-so that's integral to the success of Braley Design. Michael Braley: We've been working on brand identity and visual systems for Pando Populus, a platform for people who care about big ideas and the Earth. Last summer, Pando hosted a conference in Southern California with more than 800 speakers, and we were initially asked to design the branding for the conference. With the public success of that conference branding, Pando has asked us to expand the brand and systems in 2016. Michael Braley: Ed Lehner-a design professor I had in college. He taught me how to really examine and employ typography with care, precision, and attention to detail. Also, my dad is a graphic designer and cartoonist, and I grew up around design and art. Mom taught elementary music, and I also enjoy teaching design to college students. I try to visit one or two universities a year to lead two-day design workshops, usually focused on identity design or typography. I find this one of the most enjoyable areas of my practice; it keeps me on my toes and connected with design education, students, and faculty.
