Hey there! I’m Brie — a self-taught graphic designer with two mischievous kitty sons who think they’re my art directors. I didn’t take the traditional route of design school—instead, I dedicated myself to becoming self-taught. Art, drawing, and design have always been my passions, and as I’ve grown, I’ve realized that I can’t see myself in a career that doesn’t allow me to be creative. Design is what I love, and it’s what I’m meant to do. My ultimate goal is to create something so impactful that the whole world sees and recognizes it. That’s the kind of work that would make me proud.…Hey there! I’m Brie — a self-taught graphic designer with two mischievous kitty sons who think they’re my art directors.
