Bio
Angie Gallo
Bryan is one of the most talented designers I work with at Nationwide. He has the unique ability to think strategically and creatively, making sure everything connects and aligns with the overall strategy. What I enjoy most about working with Bryan is our tactic brainstorm sessions and brief reviews. His feedback and unique ideas add a ton of value. He always thinks bigger and pushes others to do the same, which is the most important quality to have as a marketer.

Bryan was on the team when I led the internal creative services organization at Nationwide. His superlative design skills and sheer creativity, combined with his plucky, upbeat spirit, made Bryan a go-to resource over and over again. Client work in my consulting business brought me back to Bryan. I chose him specifically because of his talent as a graphic designer and his client-centric attitude as a valued contributor to our collaborative team. Bryan continues to deliver new, fresh creative – even when timelines are tight. He is a great problem solver, often providing additional, elevated solutions, after delivering completely on requirements from the brief. Bryan's positive attitude, creativity and ability to thrill our clients makes him the ideal graphic designer on the team and partner at the table.
