Bret Meredith

PRESIDENT

At most design firms, you don’t expect the president to be an active part of the daily work. That’s where Bret is different. His 27 years of experience drives the creativity and attention to detail you see in our designs. His background in illustration keeps him in touch with the consumer’s ever-changing perceptions. Those skills, coupled with his solid, 16-year track record managing accounts, give him a comprehensive understanding of every facet of the brand design business. Always up for new challenges and finding hidden opportunities, Bret is ready to see where we can take your brand.
