Brendan Miller
I majored in Applied Media Arts from Edinboro University, which is a real university; I swear. Is that how you use a semi-colon?
In 2010 I had an identity crisis and moved to San Francisco. After months of wandering the streets, a startup named CrowdFlower (Later, “Figure Eight” and recently acquired by Appen) hired me. I was their entire design department for 2 years, responsible for the look and feel of their brand and all website branding revamps.
In 2010 CrowdFlower launched their first conference (“CrowdConf”) which launched a mini-career of mine, where I helped manage conference branding and design for CrowdConf 1 and 2, and was then heavily contracted by DevNetwork. At DevNetwork I was solely responsible for all web branding and urgent conference work for DataWeek, DeveloperWeek, APIWorld and a million other conferences for a few years.
In 2012 I moved from San Francisco to the snowiest city in the U.S: Erie, PA. From here I launched my own UI design and dev business with the horribly hard to pronounce name “Digiguin” (namesake from the Pittsburgh Penguins and my love of all things digital.) During my time leading Digiguin, I managed interns from my alma mater while juggling local and international clients.
In 2014 I was hired by Cloud City Development for miscellaneous roofing repairs. I’m now five years into deceiving their leadership team into believing that I’m a senior designer, working for Fortune 50 companies, and holding the “visual design director” title.
TLDR: I design things and my name is Brendan.
