Hi, I’m Bryana. I’m a designer.
Things I like:
- Thinking
- Dreaming
- Inventing
- Being
- Smelling flowers
- Digging holes for trees and plants
- Napping in the sun
- Pulling people outside of themselves
- Talking to people
- Good idea fairies
- Rolling down grassy hills
I streamline processes, prune dead, dying and diseased part of your business, and fertilize delight into systems that free leaders to actually live their lives—garden time, forest time, guilt-free time outside.
Because rest isn’t frivolous. It’s what happens when your stuff actually works.
From Military Systems to Mission-Driven Design
My approach combines military operations systems thinking, federal accessibility compliance, and graduate research in biophilic design. The military taught me that systems either hold under pressure or they collapse. Sustainable operations require infrastructure, not heroics.
Federal grant review work taught me that accessibility is the difference between who gets funded and who gets rejected. My MFA research taught me that digital spaces could restore instead of exhaust. Nature-connected design is survival strategy for digital lives.
CPAAC certified. Former secret squirrel. Nutty about holistic systems thinking and creative execution to organizations that need both strategic vision and practical implementation.
Why?
Your mission work shouldn’t depend on design heroics. Staff reformatting documents for hours. Materials failing accessibility audits. Recreating everything from scratch because no one documented the system.
I build brand ecosystems so that rest becomes infrastructure, not something you “earn” after collapse. So teams have frameworks, not constant permission. So leadership transitions don’t destabilize missions. So your life’s work outlives your personal capacity to carry it.
How I Work
I audit your current brand touchpoints, interview stakeholders, and identify what’s blocking institutional funding or compliance. Then I build your accessible brand ecosystem—visual identity, messaging frameworks, design systems rooted in your values. I deliver complete infrastructure: WCAG-compliant website, print templates, digital assets, brand guidelines. Finally, I train your team to maintain the system with template libraries, usage guidelines, and brand training so your team operates with confidence.
Timeline: 2-4 months depending on scope
If I can’t model sustainable work, I have no business building it for you.
Let’s Get Going
If you’re ready to step outside without collapse, you’re in the right place.
