Hello!
My name’s Brayden. I have been fiddling with computers and design software since I was 10 years old (now i’m 31 – how did that happen?). I’m entirely self-taught, I do not have any certificates or degrees to wow you with. I put 110% into anything I do, and always try to constantly raise my own bar for quality. For the last decade, I have worked at Express Custom / Rival MFG. maintaining various roles in Graphic Design, CNC Design, Social Media, Web Design, Health and Safety, Videography, Photography, Sales, I.T., Server Administration, 3D Modelling, and throwing the funnest staff parties the place has ever seen 😉.
Personal interests include brutal deathcore breakdowns, german shepherds, my other half Cora, and wasting a weekend playing friendslop with my long time friends.
I have experience with quite a few different things, with varying depth. Below is some of the software experience & skills I have.

~10 Years Experience using for almost all digital drafting
