Brad Glendenning

Senior Graphic Designer

Instead of using his summer lifeguarding money to buy a car in high school, Brad convinced his parents to let him buy one of the very first 128K Macintosh computers. The middle school geek in him had desperately wanted an Apple IIe but he couldn’t save enough money before Macintosh appeared on the scene. Leveraging his enthusiasm for a new computer system he was sure was going to change everything about the printing industry in which his Dad worked, along with his self-taught knowledge of the initial releases of Adobe Illustrator and Quark XPress, Brad secured his first career track job at a typesetting studio in Houston. He turned that opportunity into working for one of Apple’s first Value Added Resellers where he helped many of Houston’s leading design firms and corporate in-house creative groups purchase and receive training on their first Macintosh systems. He assisted on the design production and troubleshooting of the very first annual reports created on desktop systems for American General, Transco Energy, and Enron.

Twenty-two years on, he’s managed to amass an impressive skill set, a thorough project management style, and a solid design sensibility from interning at Pentagram to working in the corporate design field with posts at The Greater Houston Partnership, Transco Energy, Hampden-Sydney College, Tokyo Electron, and Micor Solutions. He’s designed for and worked on interactive multilingual training development projects; developed, expanded, and refined corporate identity systems; produced annual reports; art directed marketing campaigns and trade shows; set up networks and integrated design teams into corporate IT infrastructures; outfitted audio and video production facilities for in-house corporate communications groups; led the effort to repurpose engineering assets into interactive 3D training materials; undertaken a major property redesign for a homeowner’s association; remodeled a half-dozen homes; as well as written copy for brochures; created storyboards and scripts for video productions; and managed a variety of projects both large and small over the years for customers and clients such as IBM, Verizon, GSK, UPS, and Intel. He has also contributed and consulted on projects for Bridges Educational Corp., Boerne Education Foundation, and the University of Houston Small Business Development Center. Brad received a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Art History from UT Austin.
