About Brandon Bateman

I am driven by a passion for great design across a spectrum of mediums – from interior design and architecture to fashion to retail store visuals. Throughout my 20+ year career in the design field, I have had the opportunity to design for luxury brands with a rich heritage as well as establish compelling visual stories for emerging brands and residential environments. A few notable aspects from my career include: Directed visual brand experience across 30 store locations and global brand alignment in all visual functions from flagship showrooms to catalog shoots at Mitchell Gold + Bob Williams. Launched an interior design consulting practice to challenge my design skills and deliver personalized designs to clients. Led global planning, design, fabrication, and installation of all points of brand communication with customers and directly collaborated with C-suite executives at Cole Haan in conceptualizing and rolling out long-term brand initiatives and seasonal messages.I attribute my sustained success in competitive retail and consulting environments to a mix of creative talent, hunger for both exquisite design and quantifiable results, communication skills, and ability to manage projects from start to finish.
