Meet the Business Owner

Ray B.

Business Owner

Early in my career, I was working for a Seattle ad agency designing newspaper advertisements for various stereo companies. As I thought about it, most of my ads coming out on Sunday would be in the trash bin on Monday! My work was disposable with no long-​lasting effect on the world around me and I felt unfulfilled. After long consideration, I decided that it was time to make a change and work for companies and causes I really believed in.

This led me to work as a designer for Seattle Pacific University followed by three years with a Christian correspondence school in Brussels, Belgium. After returning to the U.S., I launched my own business with a business vision of using my skills and experience to serve enterprises that benefit the community as a whole – such as nonprofit groups, education and health care organizations, and small businesses.

Today, the team at Ray Braun Graphic Design continues the mission I began 25 years ago – doing great work for great causes.
