“Brad is a wonderfully creative, multi-talented designer who understands the subtle yet powerful effect that branding has on generations X and Y. He is a terrific thought-partner in exploring the desired connotations of your product or brand - and can play high culture, pop culture, or a clever mix of the two.”
- Greg Spotts, Los Angeles Director of Transportation Project Delivery
