Brandi Price
Co-Owner & Lead Graphic Designer
Brandi Price is the creative visionary behind CR8TV Design Technologies, LLC. With a background rooted in artistry, entrepreneurship, and education, Brandi brings more than just design expertise—she brings passion, purpose, and a people-first approach to every project.
Her journey began in the basement of her mother’s home, surrounded by family merchandise and the magic of Adobe Photoshop. That early exposure sparked a lifelong fascination with digital design, which she nurtured throughout high school as Editor-In-Chief of a 250-page yearbook—crafted entirely in Photoshop and InDesign.
Brandi graduated in 2015 with a Bachelor of Arts in Graphic Design, concentrating in Web Design, from Columbia College Chicago. From there, she dove into the professional world, working in a range of creative roles—from Account Manager at One Hour Tees to Front-End Developer at UniformMarket, and Graphic Designer at Minute Maid Press. Her ability to fluidly move between design, development, and marketing helped her build a versatile and resilient creative skill set.
In 2016, she launched Brandi Price Designs, LLC, and opened a full-service print shop in Kankakee, IL in 2020. Although the storefront later closed due to safety concerns, Brandi used the setback as a springboard. In 2025, she rebranded her business as CR8TV Design Technologies, LLC, ushering in a new era focused on high-impact branding, digital strategy, and tech-driven design.
But Brandi’s journey doesn’t stop with business. A natural educator and leader, she followed her calling into the classroom—teaching performance art and computer technology while rising to roles like Dean of Students and IT Coordinator. Between 2021 and 2023, she earned two master’s degrees—one in Educational Administration and another in Pre-Service Special Education—and is currently pursuing a Doctorate in Teaching and Learning with a focus on Curriculum, Advocacy, and Policy at National Louis University.
Her design expertise includes:
· Brand Identity & Logo Design
· Print & Digital Marketing Materials
· Social Media Graphics & Campaign Strategy
· Website Layout & UX/UI Design
· Creative Consulting & Brand Development
Brandi’s clients know her as a detail-obsessed, responsive, and consistent creative partner. She values authenticity in every visual decision and works closely with brands to ensure their identity truly reflects who they are.
She’s also a proud mother of two daughters, Naaziah and BayLeigh, who inspire her every day to lead with strength, purpose, and creativity.
“Design isn’t just how something looks—it’s how it communicates, connects, and creates impact. Your brand should define you.”
