Experience
Andrea Bruno | Graphic Designer and Creative Director
As a graphic designer with a background in marketing and branding, I specialize in improving marketing effectiveness through better design.
With experience at high-profile public companies – including Adobe, Autodesk, and CNET – as well as fast-growing startups that progressed to top-performing IPOs and acquisitions, I am adept at creating compelling visual communications in fast-paced, deadline-driven environments of all sizes.
I have extensive in-house and freelance experience – both as a sole designer with company-wide responsibility, and as part of a creative team.

Testimonials
Results that Will Delight You and Your Customers
I am passionate about collaborating with clients to determine their creative needs and communication goals, and drawing upon my experience in both design and marketing to create compelling assets that deliver exceptional results.
But don't just take my word for it. Check out what some of my clients have to say...
‟ When you hire Andrea and Qui9, you don't just get a designer, you also get someone who cares about messaging and positioning and making sure that your marketing messages actually mean and say what you intended them to say. Andrea is my go-to when I need a creative agency. She should be yours, too.” – Director of Marketing, Rocana
‟ I have worked with a lot of designers in my career and Andrea definitely stands out among them. Her deep understanding of marketing and branding, coupled with her fantastic visual sense make her unique among designers. She excels at print, online and presentation design, and has made more than one of my mediocre projects really shine.” – Evangelist, Guidewire
‟ I brought Andrea in recently to work on a branding project for a current client. She was able to translate their desires into a design that was light years ahead of what their previous branding agency brought them, and the client couldn't be more thrilled.” – Director of Marketing, CirrusWorks
‟ I admire Andrea's level of professionalism and the quality of her work. When we first met, she talked about making our small company appear large, well-established, and professional. The projects that she's worked on have accomplished that goal in spades.” – CEO, Omek Interactive
‟ The logo that Andrea did for us is so awesome. I’ve shown it to a few folks and they all love it. It’s simple and clean, but also super pro level looking. Everyone responds really well to it. Andrea did an amazing job. I can tell that I really love it because I can’t stop showing it off!” – CTO, Rocana
‟ I’ve been involved with trade shows for more than 10 years and have had the privilege of creating some really amazing booths. But, without a doubt, the graphics Andrea created for our new booth are the best I’ve ever seen. I can’t wait for the booth setup so that I can soak in the full-scale image. And my promo vendor said she designed the coolest t-shirts he’s ever made.” – Director of Marketing, TrapX
‟ Wow. I have to say that I’m impressed. Andrea got it on the first try. The last few people I've worked with on projects like this took at least 5 revisions to get it right, often many more.” – VP Marketing, 3VR
‟ I absolutely loved working with Andrea! Not only does she have impeccable creative design skills, but her friendly, open personality made collaborating a breeze. She is always willing to go above and beyond the call of duty, and the knowledge and experience she brings to the table go well beyond creative design to include a wide range of marketing skills.” – PR Manager, Rocana
‟ In less than one month from start to finish, Andrea designed a stunning visual identity for our new product line and created all the graphic assets and collateral that lead to our successful product launch at a large international trade show, where we won an Innovation Award.” – CEO, Skyhawk
