BRANDS THAT GET NOTICED

BRANDING :: PRINT :: DIGITAL

Hey, thanks for stopping by. I'm TJ Ladner — A Pittsburgher through and through with West Coast vibes and absolutely no surfing credentials. I've spent my career turning ideas into visual experiences that make people stop, take notice, and remember. From building brand identities and shaping creative direction to designing campaigns, publications, digital experiences and packaging. I bring ideas to life through bold, impactful design. I love the challenge of making brands stand out.

My background spans corporate, nonprofit, and agency environments, working with brands of all shapes and sizes. Having worked on both the agency and corporate sides, I bring the creative ambition and craft of an agency mindset together with the strategic thinking, collaboration, and brand stewardship it takes to make great ideas work inside a business.

I believe great creative should have personality, purpose, and a little bit of attitude. I take my work seriously, but not myself too seriously. I'm a people person, a collaborator, a detail fanatic, and someone who genuinely loves what I do. Take a look around. If you're ready to make something bold, and memorable, let's make some noise.
