Brian Bernier

Hey there, it's me. I'm an associate creative director, photographer, live music junkie and beer hunter. I love the process of coming up with ideas that connect brands to their audience — whether their desire is to buy a printer, a ticket to a sporting event, a phone or a complicated cloud solution or that new drug that's going to change people's lives. It's the challenge to learn what will resonate with each audience that has driven me over the years.

I started working in the studio as a graphic designer, art director, and finally as an associate creative director. I'm glad my journey has taken me from the days of print to understanding how to collaborate with UX to make designs work for the user/customer. I've also learned from some great creative directors over the years about how to listen to others and take criticism of the work in stride to make it better. I really enjoy working with young creatives to develop their skills and help them make their visions reach full potential. Over the years I've had the pleasure of working on some really great brands such as Brother Printers, The Boston Celtics, various professional athletes foundations, Neat, Boston Scientific, TE Connectivity, Novell & Microsoft, Thompson Reuters, Aprecia Pharmaceuticals, Shire, Biogen, Alnylam, Novartis, Ipsen Biorpharmaceuticals, to name a few.
