Dennis Brekke

Interactive Creative Director

Passion.

Dennis is passionate about his interests – well, everything he’s involved in, for that matter. Nothing is just a passing interest. He makes sure to know everything about that subject. “I’m very passionate about my job. I strive to design things that people will understand. Nothing frustrates me more than a bad user experience, whether it’s a website, a confusing three-way intersection or poorly written instructions for a LEGO Bionicle. I create user experiences – good ones (I hope). Information is good, but good information is essential. I believe all forms of information can be easily and aesthetically displayed for the correct audience. My goal when designing is to please the user – and generally, that pleases the client.”

“I love spending time with my sons, Harris and Miles. Seeing the world all over again through their eyes constantly amazes me. Besides my kids, my main passion is food and cooking – authentic Mexican from the Yucatán region is my specialty. A close second is music – specifically collecting vinyl records. I have thousands of records. Everything from Count Basie to the newest releases from Still Corners and Nine Inch Nails.”

Dennis is, unapologetically, a suburbanite now after living in Northeast Minneapolis for almost eight years. He, his wife Kate, two boys and a rambunctious golden retriever named Luna, live just 20 minutes north of the cities and enjoy backyard bonfires, gardening (heirloom tomatoes and the world’s spiciest peppers), grilling authentic Japanese yakitori with binchotan charcoal, and in his remaining time, runs his own craft coffee roasting business out of his basement.
