We are a group of people-focused creators and designers.

Commuter Industries was founded in 2014 with the main goal of helping people and businesses achieve their best potential through excellent design. Our name was chosen to celebrate the creative, collaborative journey we take with our clients on getting them where they want to be. We love design in all of its boundless forms and are inspired by the world around us and the people we meet. For us, business is always about the quality of all the people involved and the relationships that develop along the way.

Glen Warren

Co-Founder / Designer / Brand Strategist

With over 20 years of marketing and branding experience, Glen is passionate about all things creative. Born with a mind that is naturally inclined to engineering, he is fascinated at discovering how and why things work. Understanding the reasoning behind what makes us tick and the world go 'round gives him a deeper and richer palette from which to create and design solutions that precisely address the client's unique situations, needs and goals.

Glen strives for greatness, not only in himself, but everything he undertakes. All projects receive the same commitment, attention to detail, research, and experimentative and iterative process to uncover, compile and implement the best execution and outcome, no matter the size, scope, or level of prestige. With deep listening, observational, and pattern recognition skills, he is able to glean vital insights and a deeper connection to the client’s needs and overall vision that goes well beyond what is communicated verbally by the client.

Glen's creativity is fed, exercised, and refined by an ever-expanding mosaic of hobbies and interests including architecture, interior design, ceramics, hiking, cycling, music, art, immersive experiential installations, meditative practices and spiritual shamanism, and coaching and mentorship. All of this inspiration combines to create powerful, meaningful, and often unexpected solutions that engage and last.
