About - Expånd

Hello, I'm Brandi Keeler, creator of Expånd

You can't spell Branding without Brandi!
Expånd is my marketing and brand boutique dedicated to do-gooders. I love using my creative and strategic thinking to provide logo design, branding solutions and creative advice for altruistic activists, organizations, artists and entrepreneurs.

It's hard work making the world a better place. And so is figuring out branding and marketing solutions that show the world exactly how you're doing it! I provide my clients with effective, unique and engaging design/strategy solutions so they can focus their time and energy on what they do best.

My combination of large and small clients, and the breadth of industries I serve, allows me to cross-pollinate and stay fresh in my approach to creative problem-solving.
What's with the weird "a" in Expånd?
No, the "a" key on my keyboard isn't defunct. The name Expånd comes from the Danish word ÅND which means ‘spirit and/or mind’. At its core, Expånd was created to help people expand their minds and spirits by helping people unlock what makes them shine. For service leaders, this includes an amazing brand that attracts the customers, funding, ambassadors and attention needed to help their work flourish!
What are your qualifications?
I attended one of the nation's top design schools, College for Creative Studies, and graduated top of my class with a bachelors in advertising design and a minor in graphic design. I started working as an art director in the industry four days after graduation and have had quite the adventure ever since. I've been providing design solutions to clients for 15+ years.
Award winning design, you say?
My early work in advertising garnered honors like an AdCraft Club of Detroit D-show award, a gold cube award from the Art Director’s Club, a silver Effie Award and 2 silver ADDY awards from The American Advertising Federation. My work has been recognized by Time.com, The Huffington Post, Ads of the World, Creativity and Adweek.
Who have you worked with?
The American Cancer Society, Citizen Detroit, United Way for Southeastern Michigan, 826 Michigan, Excellent Schools Detroit, Black Women Rock, Pedal to Porch (Detroit Dialogues & Core City Stories), Naturally Flyy Detroit and many, many more.
