Fort Worth, Texas, United States
I’m a creative professional, an Art Director and Graphic Designer with 13 years of experience. From in-house roles, to working at an agency and in a freelance capacity—I have created innovative messaging for a diverse array of clients in my career. The most important factor though? I genuinely love design. Whether it’s print or digital, packaging or web, I have a passion for visual communication. I care about what I do and always strive to bring professionalism and an eye for detail to the projects I work on. Additionally, I am inspired by fine art and experimentation. I always prefer to think outside of/ahead of trends. I believe these ideas can coexist and function together, delivering a clear message. Skills include proficiency in the Adobe Creative Suite, Art Direction, Brand Awareness and Implementation, Corporate Identity, Retail Branding, Print, Packaging, Web Design, Social Media, Photography and Photo Retouching, Presentations, Custom Business Pitches, Corporate Event Branding, Trade Show Booths/Design, Document Layout, Case Studies, Custom Invitations, Marketing and Copywriting. I graduated in 2012 with a bachelor’s degree in Graphic Design from the Art Institute of Dallas.

Brad Aaron Design encompasses the part-time, freelance work I've done between my full-time positions. Projects range from full-scope branding to various one-off print and digital advertisements. I also have experience with web and social media presence, as well as publication/eBook design and promotional materials. For example, my position at Compass PHS started as a freelance job—working with their Chief Marketing Officer to brand an event. It wound up evolving into a full-time position at the company and a company-wide rebrand. I have continued to work with that executive as well, branding his personal consulting business.
