Brandon Arnold

Product Designer

The Funniest, Best Looking & Most Modest Designer In The World.

I'm an early thirties, Bay Area native who loves (in addition to his family, his friends and his plaid shirts) four things: Product Design, Development, Advertising and Improv. For over a decade, I have combined these four loves into hundreds of Products, sites, campaigns & just about anything else that can be classified as creative.

The RoughHouse

Performer & Writer

The Roughhouse is a sketch comedy group based out of San Jose, CA and we've brought our quick-witted, fast-paced, and sometimes absurd humor to the Bay since 2012. With them I've written and performed characters ranging from “The Devil’s Girlfriend” to “Saddam Hussein’s Roommate” - I've even played crazy characters like “Guy In Restaurant”.
