Black and White portrait of Brandon Locke wearing a hat. His face is scruffy and unshaven, he may have a hangover.

After honing my skills at Apple, I’m now freelancing with in-house teams and agencies. Most days you’ll find me brainstorming, designing, learning, or hustling with my independent practice, Studio Vermilion.

Feel free to connect with me on LinkedIn or email.

Hi, I’m Brandon Locke. I’m a creative art director with nearly 15 years of experience cooking up advertising campaigns—mostly for technology, activewear, and automotive brands.

I’ve had the chance to lead multi-million-dollar projects, mentor talented teams, and collaborate with some of the most inspiring people in the business.

My work has reached audiences of millions, been made fun of on SNL, trended #1 on YouTube, and achieved some eye-watering sales numbers. More importantly, I’ve seen firsthand how entertaining creative work can move the needle for brands.
