Brian Rupp is a writer, designer, composer and brand strategist based in Portland, Oregon. He served as Creative Director at ID Branding from 2003-2006, where he led brand-identity projects for Kodak, Microsoft, Intel and others. After building and overseeing the sonic-branding practice at Rumblefish for the following few years, Brian founded his own sonic branding agency, Timbre, in 2010 to help companies harness the evocative power of music to tell their stories and connect with audiences on a deeper level. When he's not developing sonic identities or music-based engagement programs for his agency clients (among them, Kaiser Permanente, Columbia Sportswear and National Australia Bank), Brian takes on small visual-identity projects and designs furniture to keep his design chops sharp.
