I'm currently on a career break dedicated to harnessing an expert-level skillset in branding as well as a deeper breath of knowledge in design, specifically brand development. I have been focused on reading textbooks on brand identity development to mold a strategy for myself and my clients alongside perfecting some more practical skills in Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop. To showcase more than thirty brands that I've created using this new strategy, I created a portfolio which you can see here - https://www.BlakeRyan.design.This break has truly allowed me to fully immerse myself in the brand design field with an aim to create (and continue to help build) long-standing brands that get both small and big business clients grinning from ear to ear.
