- Andy Warhol's term for the rarefied air at the top — the icons, the parties, the altitude. Sometimes social, sometimes chemical, always aspirational.
"Gee, we're really up there now, Bob." — Andy Warhol to Bob Colacello, Holy Terror (1990)

Brandon's design journey officially began the day his friend agreed to give him a ride to buy an iMac with the money he got from selling his car. Who needs a car when you'd have access to the universe?
From that computer an obsession grew that knew not a limit. The cold emails to every band and brand he could find. He sat at home feverishly teaching himself how to design in this new digital world while the rest of his friends partied, he hustled.
He is as always the first. The first to put something out there and watch it take off before anyone saw it coming. The first to open his own space and build a world for the misfits to meet on the daily. Flying through projects and breathing life and energy into each other's visions, turning them into reality.
He has friends all over the world that look to him when they need a homie that will pull through. He is a rock amongst the people that deserve his respect. His attention is a gift, one that he holds near but once you get it though it will change your life.
It's hard to define someone who just is. Who just knows. He is one step ahead but does not hesitate to reach a hand back to help out.
Brandon is an artist. He is a father. He is a husband. He is everything to everyone. The rock, the reliable resource, the one you want standing beside you when the storms that have been brewing are on their way. He is prepared, it will not ever fail because of him, it will fly.
