About BRYANA BREATHES DESIGN


Ready to Build Brand Infrastructure That Lasts?

Done-for-you brand infrastructure for established Black women-led nonprofits.

I design and build brand infrastructure for established Black women-led nonprofits—accessible, biophilic systems that work across digital, print, and physical spaces. You get complete brand ecosystems your team can operate independently, so you can attract aligned funders and meet compliance requirements.

Your mission is too important for scattered branding. Let’s build systems that sustain your work.


Your Impact Has Outgrown Your Brand

You’re beyond startup, but your brand can’t keep pace with your growth:

  • Your proposals and presentations don’t reflect your expertise
  • Your grant applications don’t reflect your expertise
  • Your team recreates materials from scratch every time
  • Leadership transitions means constantly re-explaining your brand
  • Your digital presence exclude the communities your serve
  • Stakeholders see inconsistent branding across touchpoints
  • You’re stretched too thin to fix it yourself

Your mission is too important for scattered systems.


Design Systems That Sustain Your Work

I create omnichannel brand ecosystems built for:

Mission-Driven Organizations

  • Nonprofits preparing for major funding or federal contracts
  • Organizations navigating leadership transitions
  • Teams constrained by brand inconsistency

Social Impact Consultancies

  • Independent consultants scaling beyond personal capacity
  • Firms building recognizable methodologies
  • Practices needing systems that work without founder oversight

Values-Aligned Businesses

  • Social enterprises balancing mission and market
  • Community-centered businesses ready to scale
  • Companies prioritizing accessibility and cultural competency

What You Receive:

  • Comprehensive brand guidelines (strategy + execution standards)
  • Accessible, WCAG-compliant digital presence
  • Print and digital collateral templates
  • Team training and implementation support
  • Documentation that survives turnover

Whether you’re attracting funders, clients, or partners—your brand should signal capacity, not chaos.


Military Strategy Meets Community-Centered Design

Hi, I’m Bryana. I build brand infrastructure that survives leadership transitions, market shifts, and compliance audits. My clients are established Black women leading legacy work because they need systems that work as hard as they do.

Institutional funders, corporate clients, and federal contracts don’t grade on a curve. Brand inconsistency signals operational instability, regardless of your impact. My military background taught me that sustainable operations require systems, not heroics.

Most organizations are held together by overworked staff recreating materials from scratch. That’s not a brand problem—it’s an infrastructure problem.

That’s why I build complete, accessible ecosystems your team can maintain independently.

Your mission work shouldn’t depend on design heroics: staff spending hours reformatting documents, materials that fail accessibility audits, or recreating everything from scratch in Canva because no one documented the system.

Systems prevent chaos. Documentation prevents heroics.

Why you should choose me:

  • 8+ years translating complex missions into clear, beautiful systems
  • DHS Trusted Tester certified (I build accessibility compliance in from day one, not as an afterthought)
  • TS/SCI cleared (I understand how to work within federal compliance requirements and speak the language of institutional funders)
  • MFA with thesis research in Digital Biophilic Design
  • Print Design Academy trained, Radical Design Fellow, MSCAP Fellow expertise in strategic communications and mission-driven leadership.

From Scattered to Systematic

  1. Discovery: I audit your current brand touchpoints, interview stakeholders, and identify what’s blocking you from institutional funding or compliance requirements.
  2. Strategy: I build your accessible brand ecosystem: visual identity, messaging frameworks, and design systems rooted in your organizational values and cultural context.
  3. Implementation: I deliver your complete infrastructure: WCAG-compliant website, print collateral templates, digital asset libraries, environmental graphics (if applicable), and comprehensive brand guidelines.
  4. Independence: I train your team to maintain the system without ongoing design support. You get template libraries, usage guidelines, and a 2-hour brand training session—so your team operates with confidence, not confusion.

Timeline: 2-4 months for full ecosystem build depending on scope

Built on Trust, Designed for Longevity

Your brand should be as resilient as your mission.

Honesty Over Hype

No overpromising. I’ll tell you if something won’t work for your budget, timeline, or community. If I’m not the right fit, I’ll say so and point you to someone who is.

Access Isn’t Optional

Accessibility isn’t a compliance checkbox or an afterthought. It’s how I design from Day 1. WCAG 2.1 AA compliance isn’t the goal, it’s the baseline. DHS Trusted Tester certified because expertise matters.

Progress Over Perfection

Systems you can use today and refine as you grow tomorrow. Your brand doesn’t need to be flawless, it needs to be functional. We move forward with intention, iterate with feedback, and build for the long haul, not the spotlight.

Rooted in Your Reality

Your brand should reflect your values, your people, and the culture you serve—not chase trends designed for venture-backed startups. I design systems that feel like home to your community, not like a rebrand from someone who’s never set foot in your world.

Designed for Wellbeing

My graduate research in Digital Biophilic Design shapes every system I build. Digital spaces should restore your team, not drain them. I build systems that sustain people, not just pixels. Because nonprofit burnout is a design problem too.


You’re in the Right Place If:

Your org is generating $500K-$3M annually and your brand can’t keep up with your impact. You need accessibility compliance for the grants you’re chasing. You’re exhausted from recreating materials in Canva every time someone needs a flyer. You want systems your team can actually maintain without a design degree. And you want a design partner who gets culture, not just aesthetics.

Not There Yet? Organizations under $250K should build internal capacity first. Need delivery in 2 weeks? That’s not how strategic infrastructure works.


Questions? I’ve got Answers

Who is this for?

Black women-led organizations generating $500K-$3M annually who are ready to invest in strategic brand infrastructure. This includes:

  • Nonprofits preparing for major funding, federal contracts, or leadership transitions
  • Consultancies scaling beyond founder capacity and building recognizable methodologies
  • Social enterprises balancing mission impact with market positioning

You need systems that work independently, meet compliance requirements, and reflect your values.

Not a fit?

Organizations under $250K revenue, needing a website in 2 weeks, or wanting cookie-cutter templates

How long does this take?

Most projects take 8-12 weeks from kickoff to launch:

  • Discovery & Strategy: 2-3 weeks
  • Design & Development: 4-6 weeks
  • Refinement & Training: 2-3 weeks

We move at your organization’s pace.

Do you offer payment plans?

Yes. For established nonprofits, I offer 50/50 splits or monthly installment spread across the project timeline (typically 3-4 payments).

What’s included in accessibility certification?

very system meets WCAG 2.1 AA standards: screen reader compatibility, keyboard navigation, sufficient color contrast, alt text, accessible forms, and semantic HTML. I’m DHS Trusted Tester certified and build accessibility in from day one to protect your federal funding eligibility and ensure your whole community can participate.

What’s Digital Biophilic Design?

Biophilic design applies principles from nature to create spaces that improve wellbeing. In digital design, this means:

  • Natural color palettes and organic shapes
  • Visual breathing room and fluid movement
  • Imagery that connects to nature and growth
  • Design that works with human attention patterns, not against them

For nonprofits facing staff burnout, this isn’t luxury—it’s infrastructure. I apply these research-based principles to every brand system I build.

What if we need changes after launch?

Every project includes 30 days of refinement support, brand guidelines, and template systems you own and can update. Optional retainer packages available for ongoing support. You’re not locked in—I build systems you can sustain independently.

Can you work with our existing website/brand?

Yes, if it has solid foundation and supports your growth goals. If it’s built on outdated platforms or lacks accessibility infrastructure, I’ll recommend a rebuild. I’ll always be honest about whether refreshing vs. rebuilding is the right investment.
