Portrait of Brandon Riley

Hi I'm Brandon!

I’m a designer who thrives on adventure, creativity, and community. My passion for exploration has taken me everywhere from the rainforests of the Pacific Northwest to the desert landscapes of Joshua Tree. One of my favorite experiences was a cross-country road trip I took during my gap year—10,000 miles, 26 states, and 11 national parks later, I came back with a renewed appreciation for diverse landscapes and the people I met along the way.

When I'm not designing, you can find me experimenting with new creative outlets and building community connections. My love for music runs deep — I contribute to the local scene by designing gig posters, creating album art, and hosting concerts. Skateboarding has been another constant in my life, teaching me the value of persistence and community. Whether I'm bouldering at the local climbing gym, hiking nearby trails, or collaborating with fellow creatives, I'm always seeking opportunities to grow and inspire others. This same experimental mindset flows into my design process, where I thrive on pushing boundaries and exploring uncharted creative territory. I believe the best designs come from being willing to venture outside your comfort zone, just like the best adventures often start with an unexpected turn.
