ABOUT US
WELCOME TO BRAND BENCH
If you are here, its likely because you own a business, and you need some help. You might not even know what help you need, but that’s okay! So pull up a chair, grab yourself a drink (I’ll be having a coffee for sure) and let us tell you who we are, what we do, and how we can help you.
WHAT
BRAND BENCH?
Odd little name huh? Well, it all started from this idea that all things begin somewhere: at a work bench. Maybe it’s a google search, maybe it’s a youtube video, maybe its CAD, it all starts with the idea, the idea you draft out and build the specifics for. And well we are nerdy and found this delightful since if you’re a gamer, everything you do, you do at a work bench! (Survival games anyone?).
IS
Every business has a work bench, or an area from which it all stems. We help you take those pillars and showcase them in ways that communicate to your clients about who you are, what you are, and why they should choose you. So how do we do this? That depends on what you need. Some have a grand idea and not much else, some have detailed plans, and others have had their plans for years in operation. But each need help getting to the next step. That’s where we shine, helping you strategize and develop a bold presence.
THE WORK BENCH
SO

KRISTEN
FOUNDER
HI I AM
What I do
Hi! My name is Kristen. I have worked for two decades in executive administration being the task manager behind great leaders, the heart behind an office culture, and the mastermind behind efficient schedules. Outside of that I am a creative soul with a desire to build more than efficient routines. I want the obscene amount of coffee I drink to enable me to create something captivating, and something wicked bold.
​
Why I do it
Having spent over twenty years supporting leaders, building teams, and launching initiatives, I wanted to build something for myself. My heart is in growing connections and working with people so I roped in a kick ass designer and with my strategic background and his design chops, Brand Bench was born. A place where bold brands take root.
WYNAND
LEAD DESIGNER
HELLO I AM
What I do
Hello! My name is Wynand, and it’s not pronounced how you think it is. I am a graphic designer and design expert with nearly a decade of experience under my belt. I am passionate about visual art and constantly challenge myself to expand my learnings from technique, to tools, to new mediums! Life without a challenge is as terrible as Comic Sans font.
​
Why I do it
I wanted to be the artist behind the visuals that make you look again. I thrive in environments where art meets art, so being the brand designer of artists, musicians, and dynamic products and industries over the past 10 years, I knew when I got caught in that rope from a determined coffee addict, I knew I would get the opportunity to continue doing just that. Here’s to making something unique, something bold, and something artistic.
