ABOUT DAVID BROWN
I’m a Creative Director with a love for building teams, crafting stories and turning ideas into work that resonates. At LifeLearn, I lead a cross-functional creative team in the veterinary and animal health space, shaping campaigns, experiences and processes that elevate both craft and impact.My career spans agencies and in-house leadership, where I’ve directed rebrands, product launches, and omnichannel campaigns — all with a focus on clarity, collaboration and creative excellence. I’m equally passionate about mentorship and education: I’ve taught in Sheridan College’s Illustration and Art Fundamentals programs, and I continue to champion learning, growth and creative confidence within every team I lead.Beyond the studio, I explore creativity in multiple ways. I write Trajectory, sharing insights on design, culture and strategy; I create Planet Joey, a comic strip blending humour and human observation; and I continue to direct and perform in musical theatre, combining storytelling, leadership and creative vision in live productions — an experience that constantly informs how I guide teams and connect with audiences.Let’s connect.
