What is Brain Butter?

I guess you could say that the term "Brain Butter" is the final result in my design process from conception to completion. After churning so many ideas in a brainstorming session they always begin to take shape, the best ideas are the ones that turn out smooth and creamy like butter.

Why do you design under the name Brain Butter?

Well my name is Ryan Dvorak and having a last name like "Dvorak" is sometimes difficult for some to remember, much less spell it correctly. So the challenge I had was that www.RyanDVORAK.com didn't really roll off the tongue that well as a domain name, and surprisingly was already taken by a politician. After a lot of brainstorming and a few pots of coffee later I came up with the name "Brain Butter" to simplify things. I developed and created the Brain Butter name in order to represent my work in a unique and creative way that would be easy for one to remember, over the past few years I added "Creative" to the end of Brain Butter as a descriptive word to let people know what I do.

My design passion first started out in the late 90's at a band warehouse where we had inherited a few ragged out MACINTOSH PERFORMA 5200 (1998's version of an Apple computer) which had Photoshop 6.0 and Illustrator 9.0 installed on them. I spent hours upon hours hypnotized with those two programs, little did I know at the time that I was laying the tracks of a lifelong design career.

 I am a graphic designer with a strong passion for anything design and art related. I aim to deliver quality work for my clients. When the client is happy, I am happy. "Less is More" has always held value in my approach to design. I love to create minimalist and clean design. I'm a strong believer that minimalism is the key to great design.

When I am not at my desk designing, you can find me sculpting little creepy monsters that I photograph and post to my Instagram account. If I am in the mood for some loud noise and to make some sawdust fly, you can find me woodworking in my garage making various things. I have always had a hunger since a child for finding new ways to improve as a creative individual.
