Brian Hatcher
As a marketing professional, creative director and brand strategist, Brian has experience working with clients in multiple industries including education, retail apparel, financial services, and technology startups. After a long stint working in-house for a private university, Brian joined HDO to support its growing brand and creative consulting business.
Brian is a graphic designer with an MBA and uses skills from both business and design to offer a unique creative perspective, helping clients succeed both strategically and creatively. His favorite projects involve logo and brand identity design.
