Bio
Annis Alfansi
Having worked as a designer under Brian for two years, I can say that I genuinely look up to him as the type of leader I aspire to be. Our working relationship was based on mutual trust - an incredible feat, considering that our team worked remotely. Despite the distance, Brian built a tight-knit culture within the team, where we knew we had each other’s best interests at heart. He trusted us, and that trust compelled us to do our best. He gave us agency and opportunities to make our own mistakes. I’m beyond grateful that I’ve had this experience early in my career. When things went south, Brian was there to help. We always knew that Brian was in our corner. We knew whenever there was uncertainty, he would be there to advise. During our 1-on-1s, he built a safe space where we could openly express our thoughts and interests. He supported our aspirations, listened to our feedback, and advocated for us. He took our aspirations seriously and took real measures to help us move forward. When I handed him my notice and told him I would be pursuing my master’s degree full time, his first response was to congratulate me and wish me well. He has been wonderful, honestly. I will support him in any endeavor he pursues, and I strongly recommend Brian as a leader, director, designer, and overall a great human being.
