Bryan McCloskey Design
  • Worked with small businesses, startups, and entrepreneurs to increase their bottom line through a combination of great design and user experience.
  • Brought a practical mix of both design and marketing to each project due to my background in both. I have an ability to push boundaries with creative thinking while still ensuring that your business goals are met.
  • Provide well-thought out digital experiences with a clear message and purpose. Whether you are starting from scratch or overhauling an existing site, I can help you get off on the right foot, regardless of what state your business is in.
  • Assisted in digging through clients' old content to determine what was working well and what wasn't.
  • Created solid strategies that also established structure, substance, and flow for all your online communications. Great content is the backbone of your product or service. It is the storytelling of who you are, what you do and why you can be trusted.
  • Expanded client identities to other pieces of collateral—offering an opportunity for brand growth and consistency. With a keen attention to details and creative solutions, my design capabilities can stretch far beyond your website.
