Drew Bryant

Drew Bryant serves as the Founder, Creative Principal and driving force behind Slate Shepherd. He is equal parts brand strategist, creative director, architect, designer, and illustrator. Drew has 20 years of experience in creative design, client services for architecture firms and design studios in Nashville and Charlotte. Over his career he has designed multi-million dollar buildings and done illustrations for CNN.

In his spare time, Drew enjoys the chaos of raising a 3 and 4 year old with his wife Tori, traveling to foreign countries and playing golf. A lot of golf.
