Hi, I’m Bria! I’m a firm believer that great design starts with a strong concept. And a good cup of coffee. And yes—I love design!
I am a Connecticut-based art director & graphic designer with a love for color, strong typography, talented people, and clients who are passionate about their projects. I thrive on learning new things, especially about my clients’ businesses.
With nine years of professional experience, I collaborate with large corporations and small businesses across various industries, including education, aviation, healthcare, non-profit, manufacturing, and hospitality. My expertise covers branding, web design, and editorial design, and more.
When I’m not working, I’m renovating my house with my husband, cooking something, or listening to Taylor Swift.
My resume is available on request.
