Brett Snowball

Strategic brand development for government agencies, industry associations, and regulated organizations across Western Canada. Most organizations need senior-level design expertise but face poor options - managing agency account teams or dealing with the time and cost of hiring internally. I provide a third option, working as an extension of communications teams without expanding internal staff. Develop brand strategies by understanding industry requirements and organizational context before creating solutions. Navigate complex stakeholder environments, regulatory compliance requirements, and multi-departmental approval processes. Provide strategic design thinking from the same person who handles projects and understands sector-specific operational needs. Led federal rebranding for Pacific Economic Development Canada achieving 78% approval rating across federal departments. Maintain strategic partnership with BC Maritime Employers Association through organizational transitions and comprehensive communications coordination. Developed culturally sensitive campaigns for First Nations Health Authority requiring specialized community consultation protocols. Based in Vancouver, working across British Columbia, Alberta, and Saskatchewan. Focus on understanding how government agencies, industry associations, and regulated organizations operate rather than applying generic design approaches.

Developed strategic brand solutions for business clients including market positioning, visual narrative development, and cohesive brand strategy. Worked directly with business owners to address branding challenges and develop solutions aligned with industry requirements and business objectives. Early experience in client consultation and strategic brand thinking.

Coordinated cross-functional teams including technical designers, pattern makers, design team, and garment production to meet critical timeline requirements. Managed fitting sessions and provided solutions for pattern corrections while maintaining quality standards. Developed understanding of complex production coordination and stakeholder management in fast-paced creative environment.

Provided strategic graphic design solutions focusing on storefront visual identity and vehicle graphics for local businesses. Created dynamic design solutions including vehicle wraps, storefront window graphics, and environmental branding to help small and medium-sized businesses strengthen their local market presence.
