Elevating Brands: Design and Marketing Services for Small to Mid-Sized Businesses
As an award-winning Creative with over 30 years of experience in B2B, B2C, and nonprofit sectors. I excel at helping small start-ups and mid-sized companies elevate their brands. I focus on fostering collaboration with my clients to achieve their organizational goals, and I have a strong background in graphic design, photography, podcasting, video production, and marketing.
Throughout my diverse client portfolio, I take pride in understanding and translating the client’s vision into the appropriate medium. From my early days as a freelance designer to building a successful boutique agency staffed with talented creative professionals, I have consistently upheld strong business ethics. Quality, flexibility, and uncompromising craftsmanship are the foundations of long-term business relationships.
I have collaborated with notable clients, including the San Francisco 49ers, Del Taco, Quiksilver, Toshiba, Verio Healthcare, Mandy Li Collection, CPS Insurance, The Irvine Company, Oceanside Glasstile, Ladera Ranch Magazine, and GISH Biomedical. I firmly believe that to prosper professionally, one must challenge oneself by stepping outside of one’s comfort zone and taking on projects that promote growth and expand knowledge. I am confident in my ability to manage any project that comes my way, even outside my current expertise.
My skills extend across various media, including print, advertising, publishing, display, online media, trade shows, photography, video, and podcasting. One of my proudest achievements was developing the brand and identity of The Rippel Foundation from the ground up. I have won 14 international design, print, and marketing awards and have been featured in industry blogs and the HOW Design Promotion Issue.

I have worked with many art directors and graphics professionals throughout my career, and I can say without reservation that Brad is one of the all-time best I’ve ever worked with. He and I collaborated closely on many complex communications projects during the three years that we worked together, and I greatly valued not only his skill and creativity, which are exceptional, but also his positive attitude, enthusiasm, openness to new ideas, and genuine desire to go above and beyond to find the best solution.
Brad is a kind and generous team player. He works collaboratively with his colleagues to create communications products that are compelling, creative, and results-driven. While working with Brad, I was impressed by his wide skill set, which includes video production and editing, web development, podcast production, and graphic design. What also stands out about Brad is that he is a problem solver who is always willing to step in to help his team, often working on incredibly fast timelines to deliver. His vast knowledge, skill set, and ability to steer a creative vision in ways that take an organization’s visual identity to the next level is a valuable asset to any client or employer.

I had the pleasure of hiring Bradley to create the logo, branding, and brochure (across all media) for my high-end wheel business. In my business, image is everything; from concept to execution, Bradley designed all elements to be cohesive, clean, and identifiable.
You can see some of Bradley’s work at INDIVIDwheels.com. Bradley also handled all studio photography; the look of the wheels is ultimately what sells them, so this area was critical. We spent a day in the studio, and the results speak for themselves.
Will I use Mr. Girard for my future graphic design needs? Absolutely yes! Not only is he a talented Creative Director, but he is also warm and personable, and he has the personal skills and network to finish the job quickly, within budget, and, most importantly, in a unique and creative way.
I am a firm believer that the successful businessperson ultimately must rely on others to handle certain aspects of the business; people are the most valuable resource, and I consider myself lucky to have connected with Bradley to help turn my dream and vision into a reality.
Bradley Girard is a consummate Creative and Graphic Design resource. His understanding of messaging, branding, and communication is second to none. Bradley also has a solid understanding of color and design fundamentals, image manipulation, traditional typography, and layout/concept design.

It is rare to find a creative talent that understands how to design for a higher purpose than merely creating a beautiful piece of art, promotion, or marketing collateral. Bradley understands that cross-platform Marketing and Advertising requires hardcore design skills, a strategic thought process, and a true business sense that will bring value to his clients. I have known Bradley for years, and I understand why when I look at his list of long-term clients.
