Gabe Lopez is the Founder and Creative Director of Brave People, a multidisciplinary creative agency located in Historic Ybor City, Florida.

Born in New Jersey to humble business owners, creativity and entrepreneurship have been par for the course from a young age. After a short stint as a Junior Designer at a downtown Tampa agency, Gabe left to start Brave People out of a small studio apartment. Now 4 years later, the agency has grown to a team of 6 (and counting), moved into a dedicated workspace and has produced award-winning work recognized by the design community on a national and international level.

Gabe is currently serving on the 2014 jury for Awwwards.com, a curated gallery that recognizes the best websites around the world.
