Particle is Brandon Comstock.
Nice to meet ya!
Greetings!
Spanning over two decades, my career in branding, digital strategy, UX, and experience design has been a journey of continuous learning and evolution.
My work in this field began with a 14-year stint at Sametz Blackstone Associates, a stalwart branding boutique with an enviable clientele. Over time, I rose to become a Partner, the firm's first Director of Digital Strategy, and a senior member of the management team. I was charged with bringing brands to life on the web, leading and developing multidisciplinary teams, evolving the digital strategy practice, pitching new business, and establishing strategic agency partnerships.
Seeking new challenges, I launched Particle in 2018 and did a deep dive into UX and product / application design before being recruited by Boston Digital to provide strategic leadership for their evolving research and UX capability on behalf of major nonprofit and Fortune 500 brands. These experiences laid the groundwork for my next role as Managing Director, Experience Strategy & Design at Mad*Pow (now BORN XDS), where I expanded into broader aspects of experience design (i.e., service design and behavior change) and led efforts to design human-centered solutions for complex healthcare and life science brands.
In recent years, I've focused on professional development and up-skilling, particularly in the areas of climate change, sustainability, and AI. These areas are not just personal and professional interests, but also an integral component of my approach to creating solutions that are good for people and good for business.
Working Together.
I offer a range of engagement options tailored to fit diverse project needs and partnership models.
I am available to work directly with clients in a hands-on manner to meet unique branding and experience strategy needs. Additionally, I collaborate seamlessly with agency partners, bringing my expertise to enhance their offerings. For agencies seeking to expand their capabilities, I offer "white label" services, seamlessly integrating with your team to provide discreet support. I'm also open to working in a fractional capacity, providing strategic and creative input as part of an extended team.
