Introduction
Hi, I'm Brianna. My background includes a Bachelor of Fine Arts (BFA) in Graphic Design from the Savannah College of
Art and Design and an Associate of Applied Science (AAS)
in Visual Communications from Sinclair Community College.
In my professional career, I've become experienced in various areas of design, including environmental graphic design & brand marketing/sales marketing graphic design at Nelson Worldwide, fashion/apparel design & screen printing at Tenth Rep Apparel and Basho, and freelance brand identity & brand design. I currently reside in Cincinnati, Ohio but work with brands and companies all over the United States (yay for remote work!).
​
I am passionate about all things design, whether it be something as complex as branding or as simple as color theory. I love working in the retail, entertainment, hospitality and restaurant industries, but I will always embrace new opportunities elsewhere.
I have had the pleasure to work with some of the top brands, such as Harley-Davidson, Deloitte, Levi Strauss Co., Bank of America, Oracle, Fidelity Investments & more.
