Yo!

​I'm Brenden, a product designer with over a decade of experience ​simplifying the complex. I've worked for big companies like Target, start-ups like Leadpages, and smaller agencies around Minneapolis. Outside of design, I love music production (even have a few releases), video games, film, art​, and birdwatching. 

​Let's connect and see if we'd be a good fit.
