what i'm passionate about
I am currently founder and product lead at Namesake. Most of my time is spent thinking about how to create compelling, innovative and differentiated user experiences. My creative influences come from mother. Quemar los barcos.
Hi, I am Brian. As founder of Namesake it's my personal mission to build a community around creative and passionate people like you. I lead the product team. My focus is creating a high quality, responsive and fun product. We're constantly evolving Namesake. It's your feedback that will help me consistently push our small team to develop a more relevant experience. Today, I believe terms like entrepreneurship, art & creation have new meaning. Namesake is here to help creators succeed. Previously, I founded Newroo (acquired by FOX Interactive Media) & Ad.ly. I studied at Brown & Montessori. If you have any ideas how I can improve Namesake, please let me know. Namesake is a community--please respect the people, thoughts & ideas. Pura vida.

Brian Leads by example. There is no other way to lead in today's fast pace digital universe.Brian is a true leader of the social tech revolution that we are currently in the midst of. I suggest anyone who is interested in the powerful nature of this revolution should follow Brian.Namesake is by design the broader concept of “Sarve Jana Sukhino Bhavanthu" meaning "Let all people be Happy". If all of us can create a win win situation by choice, then , this is it - NAMESAKE ! Best Wishes !!!Great product! I with you guys the best!Brian 'owns' his community and gets in the trenches. Great demonstration of giving a $&*t... which is always an indicator of Leadership.
