History
ARCHITEK STUDIOS WAS FOUNDED IN 2019 BY BRYAN KEITH HATCHER JR.
During the year 2005 in Cincinnati, OH, before his high school graduation, Bryan taught himself graphic design using Adobe Elements (now known as Photoshop). Later on, taught himself photography and basic marketing skills all before attending Cincinnati State Technical and Community College to study Industrial Design. While accumulating a number of skills, in 2009 Bryan was asked to return to his former high school to teach a 3D modeling lesson. After that lesson went on to assist the high school’s program facilitator at the time, initiate a number of student-led programs. Those programs included a blood drive, award-winning film, and technology club, and robotics club.
While completing his associates and working at his former high school school, Bryan also freelanced as a graphic designer, producing media for universities, school districts, and small business within Cincinnati, OH. In 2015 Bryan pursued a full-time teaching position as a Multimedia Instructor. While teaching full-time and freelancing, Bryan continued to assist the principal, former program facilitator, to initiate more programs including chess, photography, and men’s leadership. Helping students practice their passions fueled his work but watching students battle mental and emotional hardship through their passions fueled Bryan’s heart. With each student, he encountered reminded him more of his loneliness as he developed his skills and his passions while also battling mental and emotional hardships.
Bryan founded Architek Studios to continue his work of initiating places where students can develop their skills and feel valued in the process.
2019 marks the continuance of Bryan’s work, and the beginning of a frontier to impact as many youths as possible, no matter where they are.
