THE LONGEST BIO
Braven Greenelsh currently serves as CMO for Elation Global, the top provider of ultra high-end entertainment & stage lighting
in North America.
He has over 25 years of experience as a creative director and design practitioner.
Born and raised in Los Angeles, Braven started his career in the late 90s at Art Center where he quickly dropped out after being hired as a designer for Atlarge Design Lab and wanting to learn more about business. During his time there, he was mentored by Thom Jones (not the singer - although he would have loved that, since he’s got a truly horrible singing voice). It as there where he was immersed in the various subcultures that birthed streetwear. This shaped his aesthetic as a young designer working with brands like Freshjive, Universal Music, DUB, Counter Culture, Active Ride Shop, Seven Denim and Beastie Boys.
In 2006, he launched La Visual with
a vision to build a design agency that focused on branding identity for the tech sector. Quickly established it as a reputable branding agency that produced award-winning work for brands like MySpace, Citysearch, IAC, Sony Pictures, FOX, Band of Outsiders, and Kelly Wearstler.
As a five-time Founder, Product Designer, and Branding Expert, Braven holds over 30 awards for his branding and product design work. Most notably, his team was a part of the first-ever drag-and-drop eCommerce store for the infamous men’s fashion brand, Band of Outsiders. As an entrepreneur, he has designed and monetized several of his own SaaS products. Most notably those incubated in-house at La Visual, and later acquired by Discovery Communications and JAFRA cosmetics.
Aside from BRAVEN’s
work as a DESIGNER, FOUNDER & enterprise consultant, HE’s an engaging speaker who
has been invited to speak on brand development,
design thinking AND entrepreneurship at
LDI, UCLA, Techstars,
AIGA, and Las Vegas Convention.
Braven is currently a Forbes business council contributor. He also writes on leadership, branding, and entrepreneurship. Braven’s work is published in the Los Angeles Times, PRINT, Forbes, Venture Beat, and the New York Times.
