BLTdesign is a creative resource for start-ups, businesses large and small, brand strategists, marketing firms and anyone in need of a fresh look and perspective. Our specialties range from corporate identity design and event marketing to complete development of communication tools needed to support your ideas.
The wonderful thing about design is its diversity, its individuality. For every problem there are an infinite number of solutions. Yet even in the face of such quantity, successful design is nonetheless a qualitative experience. One in which context is as important as content and concept trumps all. Design should do more than simply look amazing. It needs to work, and work hard.

BRAND DESIGN CREATIVE DIRECTION
Brian has a gift for transforming complex messages into simple, evocative visual stories. During the week, he crafts identity systems and helps reimagine brands. On weekends, he’s an avid explorer, wandering the back roads of America. He’s one of those endearing drivers who slows traffic to read historic markers or makes U-turns after spotting a sign for a ‘covered bridge.’ A classically trained violinist, Brian now brings his talents to an Americana roots band.
Recognized by his peers in both national and international design competitions, Brian founded a boutique design firm in Richmond, Virginia, 21 years ago. His firm specializes in supporting brand strategists, with work spanning identity design to immersive experience design. His diverse client experience includes Fishburne Military School and the Sol Katmandu theme park in Majorca, Spain. Among his proudest creative achievements is work that helped raise $230 million for the Gettysburg Battlefield Museum Foundation. More recently, he has expanded his storytelling through environmental graphics and designed a small museum exhibition titled Interwoven: Unearthed Stories of Slavery.
