Brian Jackson
Creative Director | Brand Design
Summary
As brand designer my approach strongly considers the fundamental business strategy behind any creative work. If needed I assist in outlining this as a clear, actionable vision. Then I manage its creative execution, even designing the work as required. Design solutions are concurrent with an ever evolving consumer and business culture. More than ever, design is a valued strategic motivator that persuades consumers and empowers businesses to better connect. My experience has demonstrated strong visioning, concepting and design execution in all media.
My experience as a designer in Los Angeles spans 30 years, working in both print and interactive media. I collaborated with industry leaders in television, retail, music, and technology, with clients that include IBM, Epson, The USTA, Ferrari, the City of Los Angeles, as well as AIGA, the association of design. Recently I served as creative director for the global health and beauty brand, The Kama Sutra Company, overseeing all aspects of packaging, trade show, websites, new product development and overall branding initiatives.
My work has been featured in Graphis, Print, How, and numerous other design publications. In 2006 I was invited as speaker and jurist at La Salle University in Mexico City for the annual Quorum design awards. I sat on the board of directors for the Los Angeles chapter of the AIGA, and an alumni of the Art Center College of Design in Pasadena.
