Hey, I’m Braden – a designer and illustrator who helps creators, storytellers, and businesses bring their ideas to life through bold branding, character-driven design, and creative digital tools.
Whether you’re building a YouTube channel, crafting a visual identity, or launching your own creative products—I specialize in visuals that feel powerful, look polished, and connect with people.
🔧What I Do Best:
I specialize in a wide range of creative services, including:
• Branding & Logo Design Strategic, story-driven branding that reflects who you are and connects with your audience. From initial sketches to polished logos, I design with clarity, consistency, and character.
• Character Design & Illustration From comics to video games, I bring characters to life with original designs that pop off the page. Ideal for entertainment brands, indie studios, or anyone looking to add personality to their world.
• 3D Modeling & Design With a diploma in 3D Animation and VFX, I offer stylized 3D character models, props, and assets. Whether you need sculpting for visual development or assets for pitch decks, I can help you visualize in 3D.
• Creative Direction & Graphic Design Need a hand building out your idea or visual campaign? I offer full-suite graphic design services for digital projects, content creators, or small businesses looking for bold, clean visuals.
• Digital Product Design I create custom digital tools for artists, including brush packs, texture sets, and educational resources. If you’re looking to build something like this for your own audience, I can help concept, design, and launch it.
🎨My Style & Approach:
I’m a collaborative, thoughtful creative who believes in mixing strong design principles with real storytelling. I don’t just want your project to look good—I want it to mean something.
I’ve been in the game for over 8 years, and I approach every project with intention, passion, and a touch of nerdy flair. (Superheroes, storytelling, and stylized art are my bread and butter.)
My work is clean, expressive, and always built around your goals. I’m comfortable working solo or with teams, and I always make sure my clients feel heard, supported, and excited about the process.
🛠️ Tools of the Trade:
• Adobe Creative Suite (Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign, Substance Painter)
• Procreate
• Figma/ Canva (For layouts and mockups)
• Blender / ZBrush
• Clip Studio Paint
• DaVinci Resolve (for video work) • Notion (for project planning)
• A good dose of caffeine
💡 My Creative Strengths:
I bring a unique mix of storytelling instincts, visual problem-solving, and intentional design to every project. My background in 3D, branding, and content creation gives me a wide toolbelt—but it’s how I approach the work that makes the difference:
• Narrative-Driven Mindset Everything I create—from logos to 3D models—starts with story. I design with emotional resonance in mind, so your brand or idea doesn’t just look polished, it connects.
• Organized & Strategy-Oriented I don’t just “wing it.” I plan, batch, and break down creative tasks into clean, efficient workflows. Whether it’s monthly content or a client brief, I stay on top of every moving piece.
• Presentation-Ready Thinking I know how to make an idea look great. From polished slide decks to clean visual mockups, I’m skilled at turning abstract concepts into professional, eye-catching presentations that speak for themselves.
• Flexible, Curious, and Always Evolving The creative world moves fast—and I love that. I’m constantly learning new skills, testing new tools, and finding better ways to make magic happen.
🌟Why Work With Me?
Clients choose to work with me because I blend creative vision with reliability. I’m responsive, deadline-driven, and I take your project as seriously as I take my own. I don’t ghost. I communicate clearly. And I genuinely love what I do.
Whether you’re starting from scratch or need a creative partner to bring your vision over the finish line, I’m here to help.
👋A Bit More About Me: I’m based in British Columbia, where I live with my fiancée and our Corgi (who definitely runs the place). When I’m not designing, I’m building out my original comic universe through Innovative Comics, or nerding out on my superhero podcast, The Cool Beans Podcast.
These personal projects keep my skills sharp, my creativity flowing, and my brain full of big ideas—many of which I carry over into client work in meaningful ways.
