K2 Snowboarding Hires on Joel Brinson to the Seattle Based Design Crew

SEATTLE, Wash. (September 8th, 2008) – After a solid four years in the Northeast, Joel Brinson has made the cross country move to the great Northwest and “is fully stoked about the opportunity to join the talented design crew at K2 Snowboarding.” Joel brings a distinct design aesthetic and vast knowledge of the industry to K2 that complements the artistic stylings of K2 designers, Cory Little, Jessie Federico and Jered Garrison.

K2 welcomes Joel Brinson

“Joel brings a broad range of industry experience and passion for design that make him a great addition to K2” said Cory Little, K2 Image and Design Manager. “He is a very respected designer with a super positive attitude and outlook; and we are excited to welcome him to our family. This combination will no doubt be a seamless transition and already showing to be a great fit.”

Joel leaves the East Coast and Rome Snowboards where he has been heading up board graphic art direction and developing brand identity. In addition to board graphics, he has developed motion graphics and illustrations for a variety of clients and created album art, apparel, skateboard graphics and video installations throughout his career. He originally hails from Florida, attended Florida State University and completed a design program in London.

“I can remember each snow and skate graphic that I have ever owned and being able to contribute that same level of stoke to a kid is one of the biggest rewards for a designer. By joining the talented crew at K2, I am lucky enough to be able to expand upon an already broad legacy of great graphics.” Joel Brinson
