👋 I’m Bran.
I’m the only #productdesigner for a 130+ person EdTech Saas. I used to be a motion designer and a brand designer.
Before design, I was an Apache mechanic in the Army
I post about:
🎨 Product design
🪑 Woodworking
⛳️ Golf
🤪 Dad jokes
And I always assume positive intent 🚀

Made a procedural tiled path tool in Godot with some powerful features. This was made for Penguin Festival, but I'm sharing it for free here (meshes not included, bring your own) along with my other addons: github.com/CozyCubeGame...

days like today I planned art style agnostic vfx systems/features work, but...
late night things just go off the rails and turn into art experiment time.
In art class in school I found traditional wet on wet oil painting very frustrating + messy, this vfx reminds me of it, but its cool now!

Was working on a trail and now I'm stuck drawing with light - both forward and backward in time. Fun!
Will probably tone it down later, too bright.
Also, new area inspired by Moria from LOTR.

🎸 Made my first ever guitar and gave it to the bride. She played acoustic while my wife was walking down the aisle on our wedding day.
I’m not a good enough guitarist to return the favor, so I thought I should do the next best thing and make her one.
Safe to say I think she was surprised!

I think I figured out a good way to explain what I do for a living to people.
"You know Netflix? Imagine if every show had a quiz and you were required to watch it for work. I design software that makes sure you watch it on time and then tattles when you get the answers wrong."
Yep. Perfection.
