Gensler
As William’s previous direct manager at Gensler | worked closely with him over 6 months from 1.2019 to 6.2019, where I was the studio director. In my position, I supervised 30 employees.
During his employment here at Gensler Architects in Shanghai, as graphic designer, William showed passion for graphic design in EGD and identity projects. He is driven and organized. William understands the bigger picture of a project as well as detailed solutions. He has good organizational qualities and was easily integrated. Team members recognized him for his work ethic, positive attitude, teamwork mentality.
In summary, due to his attitude, dedication and great potential I would heartily recommend William for any graphic design or branding firm.

Sr. William Brenner
Prezado Senhor,
Venho, pela presente mensagem, estender-lhe nossos sinceros agradecimentos pela disposição em conceber e produzir graciosamente o logo do "Conselho de cidadãos de Xangai".
O novo logo encabeçará textos de comunicação daquele Colegiado, o qual, com o apoio e a interação deste Consulado-Geral, constitui plataforma adicional de aproximação e atenção à nossa comunidade em Xangai.
Seu trabalho foi muito apreciado.

The Silk Initiative
For the last two years, William has been working at The Silk Initiative (TSI), an insights, strategy, design, and innovation brand consultancy based in Shanghai. In his time at TSI, he has worked with both our Design and Innovation teams and our Insight and Strategy teams, and he has been an enthusiastic and valuable contributor to both.
He has led the development of TSI Navigator™ 2.0, our proprietary multi-market dynamic research platform, that monitors 12 FMCG categories across 4 Asian markets. William has been instrumental in selecting and creating concepts to be tested in this tool and designing its new interface and coordinating with developers during all development phases.
William was also a key team member for client projects. For our meat client Silver Fern Farms he played a key role in leading their design projects for China, and supported their brand localization.
William was also a pivotal contributor to an international ethnographic project we ran for one of our major clients, Sanofi, involving 50 simultaneous home visits in Bangkok, Thailand. For this project he demonstrated great project management skills, rapid problem solving and flexibility, and successfully coordinated communication between the client and third parties. William’s contributions here were instrumental in ensuring that, despite the high number of variables and moving parts, the project ran on
time, smoothly, and successfully, ultimately leading to more projects for TSI with the same client.
In his time at TSI, William has also lead our business development both in China as well as internationally, particularly in South America. In this role he was able to provide a number of exciting new briefs for the company in a short period of time, while also coordinating speaking opportunities for our team members, expanding TSI’s footprint.
On a personal note, William is a hugely well-liked and respected member of our team, and has shown himself to be a leader and a patient teacher who is willing to give his time to share his expertise with the more junior members of the team.

After working with Will Brenner, I remember thinking to my self, how happy I was to have chosen him for the Job. I was in a tight spot and need quick and good results.
After exchanging some ideas with him, he was able to create a great image for my company and I therefor was more than comfortable presenting myself with my news logo, business cards and image.
If I ever need more creative work done, he would certainly be the first person I would contact for the job. Aside from his professional work, he was a pleasure to be aquatinted with and I would gladly introduce and recommend him to anyone else.

Desde o primeiro contato tive a certeza que seria uma grande parceria entre a minha empresa, até então sem nome, com Will Brenner.
Eu tinha razão. Foi um projeto que aconteceu de forma fluída, tranquila, com a mensagem sempre sendo captada de forma integral. Nítida a entrega e dedicação dele com todo o processo. Sempre cumpridor de prazos com uma qualidade ímpar. Ficamos extremamente felizes de ter ao nosso lado uma pessoa correta, dedicada e comprometida.

I first chose William to help me develop my new brand identity because rather than just sending me his portfolio he took the time to arrange a call and speak to me and fully understand what I was trying to achieve.
After the call I had the sense that he fully understood what I needed, and that he wanted to go above and beyond the design process by offering me advice on strategy and other aspects of my business based on his extensive experience.
As we started to work together I found William to be relaxed and easy to talk to, but also extremely professional, diligent and structured in his approach to the project which really helped achieve what I needed within the timeframe agreed.
I am very pleased with the way we collaborated and the project outcome and I am sure I will continue to work with William as my business grows.

Will stepped in with very little notice to take on a large and urgent design task for our China e-commerce channel.
The gravity of this task was enormous, as he would be responsible for translating our brand aesthetic into engaging and e-commerce friendly material for each SKU and the channel homepage. He did not let us down. Not only did he meet the ambitious deadline, but he did so to the highest quality. The team were thrilled with his work ethos, communications and work quality throughout.
Highly recommend Will as a designer to any brand!

I worked with William on three projects to create the icon for my iOS applications. In each instance the work was done professionally, and he made sure to understand what value the work would be to my brand. The work was done on time and on budget, and would definitely work with him again.

Petit Flor - Biscoitos Finos
Agradecemos ao Will que conseguiu captar todas as emoções que queríamos transmitir em nossa marca, criando nossa identidade visual.
Estamos muito felizes com o resultado, principalmente por nos reconhecermos nela! Somos extremamente detalhistas e atenciosos em nossa produção (que é toda manual) e queríamos que esta imagem fosse percebida pelos clientes ao verem nossa marca.
A agência DesignWB nos atendeu com muito entusiasmo e várias idéias demonstrando a preocupação em satisfazer o que queríamos, sem deixar de lado seus conhecimentos profissionais sobre cores, formatos e letras.
Nossa melhor decisão foi consultar a agência de design para que nossa essência fosse transmitida de forma clara.

William Brenner desenvolveu o logo e manual de identidade visual do grupo Profissionais Brasileiros na China (PBC).
Muito embora tenha sido um trabalho de caráter voluntário, ele cumpriu rigorosamente com prazos estipulados, apresentou um manual completo do logo, marca, cor e identidade de forma extremamente profissional, cujo o resultado culminou na plena aceitação pelos membros do grupo e hoje faz parte do website PBC. O trabalho realizado foi de extrema qualidade e mais uma vez agradecemos a preciosa colaboração do designer!

Nós conhecemos o William em um palestra que ele deu sobre marketing, foi muito atencioso e solicito. Faz um ano que estamos no mercado e sempre procuramos agências, mas nenhuma dava atenção necessária para a nossa marca.
Com o DesignWB desde o primeiro contato foi incrível, o briefing que ele fez conosco nenhuma outra agência que fomos fez. Quis saber desde o início da nossa empresa, conheceu nossos produtos e realmente vestiu a camisa. Nós somos bem exigentes e foi a primeira vez que não achamos defeito em nada na arte que uma agência nos enviou.
O Will por enquanto fez nosso cartão fidelidade, que ficou lindo. Nos emocionou com tamanho cuidado e carinho que teve com o cartão, ficou sensacional! Realmente tem a essência da nossa empresa! Nós recomendamos e com certeza faremos muitos trabalhos juntos!
