Brett Hartsfield /// Contributed Designs: Bamboo Box, Change Vine, Be Green Hand
Brett Hartsfield is a 28 year old lover of humor, wit and all things visually stimulating. After graduating from East Carolina University with a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in graphic design Brett hopped aboard the R+M train and hasn't looked back. He has since expanded his creative palette to include a more holistic, experience oriented, view of how design can change the way people think and live. Change can be a refreshingly ambiguous trek. When he is not nit-picking every little detail, he enjoys spending time with his guitar and his skateboard.
