Our story

My name is Brandon Hoe, and I started ClearSketch because I was tired of sitting in cubicles at work and of not being able to take full advantage of my “middle-brainedness”. I have an electrical engineering degree and an MBA, but have also taken photographs and produced videos that have been used by companies of all sizes, ranging from an 11-person startup to the Fortune 500.

When I examined what made me happiest at work, it was being able to take complex, disparate information, synthesize it and create compelling stories out of that data. ClearSketch was born out of a strong belief that lots of businesses and organizations struggle with telling their story well and that I could help them do so.

The journey has been full of ups and downs and there were moments during the early days when I considered quitting, but I believed in what I was doing and today, I’m happy to say that some of the companies we’ve helped include Michelin, Honeywell, Lenovo and Allergan. I hope that you’ll consider working with us.
