As Creative Director for his own Vancouver-based strategic design agency, Brady Dahmer Design (BDD), Brady develops print, web and interactive projects for some of Canada’s leading corporate and consumer brands. BDD also supports various non-profits, including Starlight Children’s Foundation, Variety the Children’s Charity, Speaker’s Spotlight, and the Vancouver Cherry Blossom Festival.
