Hey, I'm Brian Keys​​​​​​​ — a branding-obsessed creative director, designer, and 3D visual storyteller originally from Philly, now based just outside NYC.
My love for drawing started early and led me straight to art school, where I dove into everything from advertising and branding to illustration, photography, and digital design. The program was structured like an ad agency, and it gave me the foundation I needed to thrive in the real thing.
From those early days with Photoshop 3.0 to now designing bold sports identities and next-gen pharma campaigns, I’ve always chased what’s next — evolving my skills, pushing boundaries, and telling compelling visual stories. Whether it’s logo design, conceptual 3D art, or leading a creative team, I believe great ideas come from curiosity, collaboration, and craft.
I still make the trip back to Philly to catch an Eagles or Sixers game — and that same energy fuels my work. I’m constantly sketching, tinkering, and learning new tools to keep my creativity sharp and the ideas fresh. And whether I’m building brands or mentoring talent, I’m all in on helping others grow and making work that moves people.
Let’s make something legendary.
