With over 30 years in NSU’s Publications Office, Bryan serves as a graphic designer and the university’s dedicated Identity Standards Specialist. He creates a wide array of print and digital materials—brochures, banners, branding graphics, and marketing collateral—and advises the publications team on the proper use of university logos, branding, and postal guidelines.

Over the years, Bryan has made lasting contributions to NSU’s visual identity. He developed the official university logo used from 2012 to 2018, designed the current presidential seal, and created branding for major initiatives including Title IX, Veterans Resource Center, National Coral Reef Institute (NCRI), Mako Media Network, Shark Dining, and NSU Athletics championship logos.

Beyond branding, Bryan has designed ceremonial and specialty items such as the university mace, presidential chain of office, graduation medallions, lapel pins, challenge coins, NSU Health white coat patches, NSU SharkCards, the official university license plate, vehicle wraps, university flags, and campus signage. Many of these designs are visible across NSU’s campuses.

Bryan takes pride in transforming creative ideas into lasting, impactful designs. His work helps shape the university’s visual identity and ensures that NSU communicates with professionalism, clarity, consistency, and purpose.

Outside of work, Bryan enjoys spending time with family and friends. He loves vacationing and hiking the trails of the Smoky Mountains. He has a passion for 60s muscle cars, Star Trek, and enjoys a wide variety of good music.
