Brian Young is visual excellence personified. His graphic design skills are jettisoned by his sensitivity as artist. Corporate, Municipal, Non Profit, and Small Business clients resoundingly agree that Mr. Young's dexterity with his computer allows him to produce a variety of images and campaigns that move people to action.



 

In addition to his integrity, truth-telling, and sincerity, Brian Young's longstanding reputation for over delivering to clients in advance of deadlines is legendary. He works efficiently, effectively and flexibly. In other words, he takes no short cuts but is ultimately the focused hare that wins the race long before the focused turtle. He responds to client feedback in a way that can only be described as a seamless pivot. His tipping point is when the client knows exactly what they want as well as when the client is attempting to figure out exactly what they want. It is then that his decades of expertise in client relations shines brightest.



 

Big design firms may add cache to your list of vendors and service providers. Mr. Brian Young of YD Design adds luster and brilliance to your brand, your campaign, and to you. He blends in the background well, while you the client shine in prime time under the big lights. To use a sports analogy, you win the Super Bowl, NBA Championship, Stanley Cup, PGA Masters, or World Series of your profession, while Mr. Young smiles knowingly on the sidelines far removed from the public. He is the ultimate graphic design coach.



 

To put a sharper point on this reference for Mr. Brian Young, let me add this. If you follow the technology industry you should know about Mr. Bill Campbell. If not go read The Trillion Dollar Coach: The Leadership Playbook of Silicon Valley’s Bill Campbell. That is graphic designer Brian Young's role to set you up to dominate your field visually. To add value to your brand. To enhance your success by providing you with the tools you need to succeed. In short Brian, Young is a graphic designer who operates based on principles.



 

Call him now. Call him right now.

That's my story and I'm sticking to it.

I had the pleasure of working alongside Brian Young as editor of the Washington Informer newspaper and found his work exceptional, his character, stellar, and his creativity, unmatched. Under his leadership as a graphic designer,

Mr. Young consistently surpassed my marks of performance, becoming the genius behind six years of award-winning (First Place accolades) productions. Mr. Young proved conscientious, dedicated, insightful, and innovative in his approaches to sculpting both newspaper and supplement (magazine) layouts. His knowledge of production tools and graphic software fostered a successful transition for the Washington Informer through a new branding campaign and product launch. Brian Young's patience with a sometimes-resistant, traditional team, was unsurpassed. I do not hesitate in the slightest to recommend Brian Young as an addition to an organization that requires superb graphic designs and quality productions.

Mr. Brian Young is an exceptional, outer the box mentor and graphic designer. He offers quality and unique work for each client. He takes the time to give the youth and others a chance to understand the true history of our identity.

I love the way he takes the time to teach until you understand. The way he inspires us all to see our true worth as kings and queens. To know our hair is our crown. We don't need to seek validation from anyone, because we are all royalty.

He is much more a phenomenal graphic artist. He is an artist of truth, empowerment, growth, resilience, enlightenment, power, strength, and endless list of our forefathers’ spirits.

Thank you King for being my mentor. Thank you for being you. Thank you for being free.

The Purpose of The Book:
Turning A Blind Eye

by Lauren Joseph 

The purpose of the book; is to raise awareness of child abuse, and the causes, and effects of our decisions to turn a blind eye at the expense of our children. Thinking it’s their problem and not ours, and the multitude of variations in turning a blind eye on victims.  The book doesn’t just tell stories it teaches lessons and offers countless solutions. 


The book is designed to be used as a tool to assist frontline people and organizations. The eyes and ears are on the ground. The mummies, daddies, neighbors, big brothers, big sisters, and community leaders….  All who focus on youth, children, men, and women issues.  Not left out, all who want to be a part of the frontline. 


We need all hands on deck to fix the pandemic of abuse, that has been here, for far too long. Let’s allow our children to be children and prevent many from being caught up in this vicious cycle.

It’s not an I initiative, it’s a collective one. Only together, can we make the difference.


The book cost only TTD $275.00 

a small price to save lives
