About Brady Bone

Hi!I’m Brady Bone, an art & design director living in Charlotte, NC, with my wife, two kids, and two rescue Labradors. I enjoy time with my family & friends, with food, beer, bourbon, surf, and snow.“I am, and always will be, a creative ringleader.”With years of extensive brand development and design experience, I am driven by building partnerships to launch strategic, creative, and innovative experiences to address evolving business challenges—While client success is the reason for that drive, the most valuable results from my work are the relationships I am fortunate to build with my clients and creative partners. Especially mentoring talent on my teams—These strong, personal relationships are responsible for our mutual success—As a native of Kitty Hawk, NC, I know a few things about pirates — Black Beard was an inspiration. And I grew up understanding more about the weather and surf breaks than kerning and color breaks. Fortunately, my design chops were cultivated at the School of Design at NC State—Currently freelance, I am also an Adjunct Instructor in the Advertising & Graphic Design program at Central Piedmont Community College and the returning President of AIGA Charlotte. Most recently, I was Creative Director for the US office of the independent global agency, Team Creatif Group — focusing on consumer brand and packaging design. Formerly, I was Design Director for LKM and The Republik and have held freelance stints in brand design and creative direction for BooneOakley, Wray Ward, Skidmore Studio, Modern Species, among others.Let\'s get to work!
