Barry Bruner – Designer

I'm a designer, Illustrator, and animator working and living in beautiful Brooklyn, NY.

Overview

I'm an illustrator and designer that has worked in the print and publishing industry for 15+ years, and I'm currently working on a children's book to be put out by Norton in 2023. While my stylistic specialty is detailed line work I regularly work in a variety of styles for my clients with subjects ranging from portraits to maps to fantastical narratives.

I also freelance in a number of industries including animation, advertising, film, and tech with clients like Google, Adidas, NBC, HBO, ESPN, and others. Whenever I'm not working I'm self-starting personal projects like game making, producing mini books, and painting.

I love coming up with the best solutions for whomever I'm working with, so please do not hesitate to reach out. Let's work together soon!
