About

Hi, I'm Branson Anderson.

I'm an art director, game developer, and designer.

In my work I seek to

  • Create beauty
  • Solve technical problems in creative, elegant ways
  • Practice kindness in everything that I do.

I am a very happy husband and father of two. We live in the Seattle area. I enjoy spending time in the mountains, making new friends, and creating art.
