Drawing from an undergraduate degree in design from Illinois State, Brian honed his skills as an art director for CS&A Marketing and Communications (a national business to business marketing agency) creating everything from corporate identity and brochures, direct mail and websites to commercials and multimedia projects. Currently Brian is focusing on a master’s in communications, emphasizing the communication preferences of the millennial generation while working at Illinois State University’s University Marketing.

“Our clients know the subject matter the best. They are the experts. Our job is just to dissect their message and figure out the best and most effective way to communicate it. That’s where the creativity comes in.”

Not only working on award-winning designs, Brian also focuses on helping clients integrate new technologies into their media mix. “Whether that’s texting, social networks, e-mail, websites, or traditional snail mail, each audience has their own prefered method of communication and we have to be prepared for all of them.”

A self diagnosed workaholic, Brian still finds quality time with my family through coaching soccer, fishing with the kids, working with his wife in the garden, and occasionally killing a few orcs in World of Warcraft as LittleMinos.
