About BrainWag
Hi, I’m Brian. Most people call me Brian. And sometimes they spell my name Brain.
in a nutshell
I’m a designer that cares about measurable goals; a front-end developer that cares about usability; a creative thinker that cares about targeted messaging; a strategist that cares about delivering solutions; an interactive producer that can bridge marketing and technology; a one-stop-shop that respects the strength of teamwork; and simply a hard worker – passionate about worthwhile work.
what I know...so far
I absorbed visual and user experience design from on-the-job experiences, talented mentors and feedback from real people on live projects. I’m not a uni-lateral thinker and I didn’t learn design or strategy from a text book. And with a little help from my friends, I can code stuff too...(and still learning)
- I am a creative solution seeker grounded by the reality of what it takes to actually get something done.
- I see problems as opportunities.
- I can think both creatively and logically, analyze objectively and communicate tactfully.
- I also love coffee.
the important things
Most importantly, I care. I want my time and my work to be worthwhile. I want to make a difference in everything I do. For me. For my family. For my career. And for the companies and individuals I work for.
mission
To create purposeful, user-focused solutions that are worthwhile and make a difference.
values
- HONESTY - I will tell you when I don’t know something.
- INTEGRITY - I will walk my talk.
- CARING - I will listen to your goals and vision and treat each project as if it were my own.

Frequently Discussed Considerations
As you may have guessed…it depends. Why? Because I’m not going to build or create something you don’t need. There are some cookie-cutter methods but each kind of cookie can have different ingredients.
Listen. Understand. Design. Listen again. Deliver. There’s a lot more to it than that, but I always think it’s important to listen and understand first. Part of understanding usually involves research and additional interviews and discussion. Communication is key.
Every project is different. I will provide cost and time estimates up front and we can go from there!
