Hi, I’m Gabriel Schwartz, multidisciplinary creative providing marketing solutions through motion and graphic design, video editing, and web design.
I also co-own a preschool in Boulder, Colorado, which keeps life fun, balanced, and always creative.
Leadership | Design and management with directive. Guided Sea Fare Expositions through a decade of branding and creative with clarity while the show continues to grow and be the world’s #1 Seafood Show. Simultaneously opened a preschool center and help manage over a dozen employees.
Insight | A degree in Sociology combined with countless hours spent designing, working productions, ad agencies, and managing teams, I harness my knowledge of people to always create thoughtful and meaningful work that humans connect with on a deeper level.
Craft | Familiarizing myself with clients and their needs, I execute clean and thoughtful design carefully balancing visual quality with real-world impact.

Together with my amazing wife, we opened Blue Leaf School® in Berkeley, California as a small in-home daycare.

We’ve been having fun at OSSI for many years. I get to play with so many different mediums, concepts, imaginative ideas and quite frankly, cool projects. Implementing my art and design background with OSSI’s engineers and custom technology solutions is this grown mans idea of fun. From digital signage content and on-site technology installations, to custom interactive designs for casino’s, event centers, and so much more. Every project is new, exciting, full of unique challenges and surprises.

Working with Radiant Brands has been one storytelling adventure after another.

I’m proud of the stories we’ve brought to life together.
