Hi, I’m Brett Ludeke, a Creative Director, Producer and Film Director based in the Washington, DC area.
My background spans creative direction, producing, commercial directing, cinematography, and photography. Over the course of my career, I’ve led creative teams in brand identity, website design and development, commercial filmmaking, motion graphics, and 2D/3D animation.
I’ve directed creative work for brands including UFC, GQ, and Five Guys.
Whether I’m leading a rebrand, directing a commercial, designing a digital experience, or developing motion for a campaign, the goal is always the same: create work people remember.

Branding, Merchandise
R.S. Bristow’s has been a cornerstone of Urbanna, Virginia for nearly 150 years. My goal was to create a new brand identity and merchandise system that honored the store’s rich history while connecting it more deeply to the character of the town.
The rebrand drew inspiration from three defining elements: the store’s 150-year heritage, Urbanna’s small-town waterfront charm, and the region’s longstanding connection to oysters. I developed a refreshed visual identity and a line of merchandise that blended historic authenticity with a modern, memorable look, celebrating both the legacy of R.S. Bristow’s and the culture that makes Urbanna a destination.
