Art Director , Design Service & Music Curation
Creative direction, apparel graphics, and brand systems rooted in heritage and shaped by culture.
DJ sets and curated soundtracks for clubs, brand events, brunches, and weddings.
I’m Brian Burnside—a creative director and DJ connecting brands, people, and culture through design and sound.
Let’s talk creative projects, collaborations, and DJ bookings.
I turn brand stories into distinctive product—and give teams the direction to deliver it.
Great design needs a clear point of view, a cohesive system, and disciplined execution. I connect heritage and culture with apparel graphics, seasonal concepts, labels, and trims that work together from first sketch to final approval.
CREATIVE LEADERSHIP. COMMERCIAL IMPACT.
At Lucky Brand, I directed four designers and two freelancers across apparel graphics and seasonal product development, supporting a business of approximately $150 million. I connected creative direction with vendor collaboration and production approvals, aligning the team around brand consistency, product quality, and commercial goals.
HOW I LEAD
• Set a clear creative direction.
• Develop people and raise the standard.
• Build systems that keep the brand cohesive.
• Stay hands-on from concept through production.
• Connect creative decisions to business objectives.
