Brad Waugh’s Summary

I have had an interesting ride in my short career. I have worked in shop, lead a design department, helped open an office in Hong Kong, and started my own business as well as working for and with countless clients. From designing logos to preparing computer models for manufacture I've had a wide spectrum of experiences in design and production.

Now I've set my sights on building my own business. It's tough, challenging, and sometimes depressing, but I love it. I love what I do. Would I walk away from it? Sure, if the right opportunity comes along. For now, I'm looking to build the BWDC to a self-sustaining level and keeping myself a business owner instead being owned by my business.
