Creative Director | Bring the Next Chapter of B&D’s Brand to Life

This is a unique opportunity to help introduce the next chapter of B&D’s brand. We’re looking for a hands‑on creative leader who will personally produce exceptional design while establishing the creative vision, standards, and systems needed to bring our evolving identity to life and strengthen the quality and consistency of creative work throughout the organization.

Open to candidates based in Washington, DC or Chicago, IL, with the ability to work on a hybrid basis.

About B&D

Brailsford & Dunlavey (B&D) is a national planning, development, and program management advisory firm dedicated to bringing community to life through the places where people live, learn, work, and play. B&D partners with institutions, municipalities, and organizations to shape and deliver complex real estate and capital projects, providing strategic insight and end-to-end advisory services across the full project lifecycle.

For more than 30 years, B&D has helped clients translate bold visions into actionable plans and successful outcomes, with particular depth in higher education, K–12, public sector, and sports and entertainment environments. B&D recently joined forces with Project Management Advisors (PMA), bringing together two nationally recognized leaders in program management and real estate advisory services and expanding the capabilities we offer our clients.

The Opportunity

This Creative Director will own the visual expression of our brand and help define creative excellence across the firm. As B&D enters its next chapter following a significant merger, this role will help translate our refreshed brand vision into a compelling, cohesive reality, and then take it further by building the systems, standards, tools, and creative practices that enable the brand to take hold across the organization and evolve over time.
