I began my graphic design career in 1997.
I work from my home office in Portland, Oregon.
I’m looking to work with good people who care
about design and enjoy what they do.

“I have worked with Brent photographing assignments with him for Icon Motosports. Brent is highly talented and extremely creative. A great energy to be around. Brent always brings a fresh exciting approach to the table. Very professional and easy going! Fun to work with.”
- Eric Hameister, Photographer, Hameister Photo

“Brent is an excellent Designer and Art Director who I really enjoyed working with at Icon. He’s a very effective manager, able to clearly communicate to a team his project vision, from its inception to its ultimate successful completion. Brent is exceptionally creative and comprehensive in his design approach–he is able to understand his client’s existing brand inside and out, yet is continually on the hunt for new ideas and inspiration. He’s got a perfectionist’s eye for detail, and a focused, determined work ethic. If given the opportunity to work with Brent again, I would jump at the chance!”
- Kris Dicharry Travis, Graphic Designer, Icon Motosports

“I had the pleasure of working with Brent conducting a complete re-design of a mobile text messaging company. The only issue that ever occurred is that we kept catching ourselves drooling over Brent’s beautiful portfolio of past designs. His work is intuitive and tells consistent brand stories with both brand identity and product design. He was a pleasure to work with and now his next clients can drool over our brand design.”
- Janene Larson, VP of Marketing, Txtwire Communications

“Working with Brent was both enjoyable and educational. Brent is more than adept at managing simulations art projects, each fundamentally different in nature, which, by their nature, can often be amorphous and difficult to define. More importantly, Brent has the ability to identify the subtle differences that separate simply good art from art that will impact the viewer, especially in a commercial context. These talents, combined with breadth of talent that allows him to take on and bring to fruition projects that may be outside his core skill set, along with his old school work ethic, means that he adds value to any project. I do not recommend often or easily but I would feel confident in recommending Brent for the most crucial projects of any business.”
- William Coe, Product Development Manager, Parts Unlimited

Brent is an accomplished graphic designer and art director with over a decade of experience in a variety of disciplines. He is currently operating as an independent designer, specializing in visual identity design. He works in print and digital media, producing logos, product graphics, web sites, advertising, packaging, and other identity materials.

Throughout his career, Brent has helped create identities for many successful brands and their products. While his background and client list primarily consists of athletic and culture-driven brands, he has recently started to broaden his client base. Generally speaking, he’s looking to work on a variety of projects with good people who care about design and enjoy what they do.

Brent also helps develop connections between the buyers and providers of creative services in Portland, Oregon. He has built the PDX Creative Directory to aid in the marketing and communications of Portland’s creative service businesses.
