Hi! Thanks for checking out my work, my name is Brett Balcaen and I’m an innovative graphic design professional with 10+ years of experience handling various creative design projects, graphic design, apparel design, and concept creation. I began my design career at a young age starting my own t-shirt company in university to pay for school. That opened up opportunities for me to pursue a career in design and sharpen my skills in many different areas of the design field.
Aside from design I am an avid sports and racing fan. Anywhere from motocross and Nascar to hockey and golf. I race dirt bikes, play hockey and golf in my spare time. I love being inspired by apparel trends in different sports industries and applying that to my work. I'm a big music guy and love to attend concerts in my spare time as well.
​
I would love to learn about your brand's needs and find a way I can help!
