What is EGO?

What's in a name anyway?

1. Everbody's Got One - An EGO is a basic element of one's identity. Identity is important! Look at any successful brand. If your intellectual or emotional identity isn't strong, you may be missing the mark or your footprint or pathway for reaching your target audience.
2. The Eye Generates an Outcome. Often what we first initially see generates a response that is either inspiring or is insensing. Make sure your identity is a lasting, adabtable, relevant and inspiring one!
3. Earn Genuine Optimism The right brand strategy is a process and does't always happen on the first attempt. Anything worthy of your brand's identity must be an earned endeavor that reminds your group and organization where they have been and where they wish to be.

Your name, your product or that which identifies your brand should be strong as your "EGO", as lasting, as adaptable and as inspiring! Endurance is the key to a successful brand identity. Your brand evolves from an effective strategic process that earns you a winning identity. If you want to generate a positive reaction that separates you from the rest of your competitors. That's a reaction that we affectionately call "EGO". It's not an attitude it's an aspiration. It's believing in what you are and what you cna do. Let us at EGO Design Studios introduce you to your brand "EGO". Think "EGO" your design partner for success!

Brandon K. Parker

CEO & Creative Director of EGo Design Studios

Greetings. My name is Brandon Parker. I'm the CEO & creative Director of EGO Design Studios. Design has never been a job for me it's been a passion and a way of life. When I was a child my Mom and Day would sit me down wwith a pack of crayola crayons and just marvel at some of the things I would draw. Eventually that grew into painting, then to sculpture, then to silk screening, then to computer designs. I knew that I had a talent when other folks besides my parents started taking notice some of the creative things I was doing. When I was just in junior high school I began getting asked to do small projects for friends, schools and community groups. Later in life I would revisit my passion for serving the public through creativity and design.

I was born and raised in Cincinnati Ohio. I graduated from Walnut Hills High School and attended the University of Cincinnati's Pre-DAAP Program. I longed for the opportunity to leave Cincinnati and venture out to a larger city. I chose New York where I graduated from Pratt Institute of Art & Design with a degree in Digital Design & Mnteractive Media. Living in New York I was blessed with the opportunity to see a wealth of arts and culturw all around me. The city bustled with creative energy that allowed me to further express my talents and pursue my dreams. I also picked up the entreprenurial spirit as well. I was encouraged by my instructors at Pratt to continue to increase my skills and learn the value of freelancing.

My first freelance jobs were small. Business cards, brochures, CD covers, etc. I worked for a Printing Company and offered my design skills as often as I could to get more design opportunities. by the time I left New York and returned to Cincinnati I had already assembled a small portfolio of freelance work in addition to my school samples. This helped me to land my first design job at an agency in town. I work for a couple of years at Insignia Design Associates in Mt. Adams. There I got exposure in package design, branding, print design and some multimedia design work as well. The entire time I was working full-time, I was quietly building my list of freelance clients and continuing my freelance business.

I moved on from Insignia to a larger agency, bridge Worldwide. At Bridge I recieved a concentration in brand identity, equity, web design, project management and multimedia design. My clients and portfolio of work continued to grow. I eventually decided to take the plunge and persue self employment full-time. I launched EGO as registered business and never looked back. I've had the pleasure of working with some of the best organizations here in Cincinnati, including: University of Cincinnati, Urban League of Greater Cincinnati and The African American Chamber of Commerce. Our client list continues to grow as well as our capabilities and services offered.
