Brian Modansky's - The Life and Works of DavinciV

Who is Brian Modansky?

With 16+ years creating working in various internet industries, I have created many great products and services which hundreds of thousands of customers enjoy. I have been blessed and acted on many opportunities to help others achieve their goals and in the process have achieved great success, gained wisdom, and earned respect within the industry.

It is with this understanding I am able to offer my talents to a greater cause.

I have thoroughly enjoyed working with Brian the last couple of years at HostGator. Brian's understanding and skill in design (website, print, landing pages, online ads, the works - he excels at them all) conversion optimization and industry knowledge is unrivaled.

Taylor Hawes

SVP of Marketing at EIG

I worked with Brian when I was an Account Executive at CBS Outdoor. I placed Host Gator billboards across over 10 markets with CBS and Brian created the designs for each of the markets and billboard sizes. Brian was always a pleasure to work with and he went out of his way to make sure he made last minute deadlines and produced great work.

Amy Jo Beave

Account Executive at CBS Outdoor

Brian is an excellent boss, great mentor, and an extremely experienced designer from whom I have taken much advise and direction from over the years. He gave me opportunity and direction on projects which allowed me to lead a team of 8 designers to develop website templates for HostGators website builder. This fact allowed the possibility for HostGator to later get a contract with Google.

Ryan Bonner

Front End Web Designer / Developer at Gensler

Over the last few years I have had the pleasure of working with Brian on several Branding projects for HostGator. Brian is fully committed to any project he is involved in, he takes ownership and follows his projects from start to finish. He is creative by nature and never stops thinking of new ways to generate excitement within his company as well as creating a buzz for his clients. Brian focuses on the big picture to accomplish his long term goals as well as the long term goals of his company and department. One of his best assets is his ability to build relationships with his business partners.
