Brian is a designer playing within many different genres. Originally working on landscapes, his practice has evolved to range from functional products and systems-level interventions through to speculative exhibit pieces. His idea of fun involves researching and learning in an array of disciplines as he explores the overlap and intersections between seemingly disparate fields.
His worldview stems from seeing a different future than what we are told is possible. Brian thrives when he can leverage both philosophical ponderings and technical skills to create something tangible that helps people to have an emotional reaction to a topic. With a deep-rooted belief that people can grow alongside the natural world, his aim is to give form to abstract and invisible concepts that can raise questions and invite wonder into our lives.
