Adrian founded Brandesign in 2007 after 15 years in top Cape Town agencies and has spent more than three decades turning business objectives into award‑winning visual narratives.
As Creative Director he shapes the agency’s design language and mentors a cross‑disciplinary studio team.

Adrian’s craft spans illustration, typography, motion and experiential design; his mantra “blinkers off” drives boundary‑pushing ideas grounded in commercial reality. He is also a contributor to design panels and has written on brand longevity and integrated reporting.
