Brad Weaver is a User Experience, Product, Brand, and Content Designer. With over 25 years of experience in the field, dating back to his first website built for a friend’s band, Brad has worked at the intersection of forward-thinking technology and trusted design principles.

Brad was part of the mobile team at Verizon during the dawn of the smartphone and app era in the early 2000s, leading eCommerce and mobile app programs that set the pace for the ecosystem we know today.

He set out to build his own agency–Suckerpunch–in 2008, and grew it through a merger with Nine Labs in 2014 that resulted in one of the most admired practices at the dawn of modern UX. There, he worked on Enterprise and Government applications and brand systems used by the United Nations, international governments, and millions of citizens throughout the world. In 2017, he began working directly with Fortune 500 and bleeding edge clients one at a time as The Banner Years, where he works today.
