wHAT PEOPLE SAY

No one is more passionate and dedicated than William Brown. Always learning and challenging himself. Always able to rise above ego and seek creativity in even the most mundane of assignments. Always looking to support the team, build the agency brand, volunteer for outreach and inclusion initiatives — and often driving those opportunities.

​

Eventually, I stopped being surprised that he was perpetually the first designer in the office (often by hours) and the first to raise his hand to help, but I never stopped appreciating it. As all creative directors know, that kind of attitude is rewarded with opportunity and trust. I looked for every opportunity to work with William and was always delighted with the results as time and again, he propelled his efforts into above-and-beyond territory.
