In my own words

Todd Alan

TODDALANBRELAND.COM I’m an experienced Designer, Illustrator, Creative Consultant, Skateboarder, Surfer, and Outdoor Enthusiast.

I've worked with everyone from start-ups to Fortune 100 companies. I’ve spent most of my career in New York City and now currently reside in Virginia Beach, Virginia. From creative directing a brand for the former President of Adidas, to designing a limited edition aluminum can for Pepsi, I have an extensive wealth of knowledge in the industry. I was listed in Digital Artist Magazine's Top 10 in the 'Creative Hotlist of 2010' and have been featured and published in numerous publications including Vogue, Entertainment Weekly, and Computer Arts Magazine. No client is too small or too large. If you’re excited about my portfolio, I want to work with you!
