The Art Department at BBR recently attended the Creative Summit in San Marcos, Texas. The Creative Summit is a long weekend designed to inspire and we return every year with our creative batteries charged, ready to do some killer work.

Day in and day out, the BBR Creative staff bears witness to the tireless efforts put forth by Partner and Creative Director Cathi Pavy.
