Client Testimonial:
“Working with Brad is not only a personal pleasure, but he also helps our organization immensely by capturing the tone and essence of our community. His process is collaborative, and the questions he brings to the forefront help us pin-point exactly what we want to convey. We hold the value of anti-racism deep at our roots here at Ada, and he recognizes this and brings a team that reflects the folks we serve. We worked closely with Brad to put forth a proposal to Melinda Gates, and through this work, Ada was awarded 10 million dollars. Though the story of Ada is already compelling, Brad has really helped us hone and perfect how we articulate our story using visual media.”
