Brianna Bowman is a designer studying at Miami Ad School’s Atlanta campus. She is known for bold, imaginative work that brings a playful touch to every project. Formerly a marine biology major at the University of Florida, she realized she was most energized by the creative classes she had taken and decided to pursue a more artistic path. With a focus on experiential design, branding, and illustration Brianna now aims to make life a little more colorful, infusing spaces with vibrancy and joy
WHAT MAKES YOU FEEL INSPIRED?
I get inspired by everyday things that are beautifully designed. Whether it’s a well-decorated home, a thoughtfully designed menu, a building that grabs your attention, or a wine bottle that makes you want to pick it up just to check out the design.
WHAT AREA OF DESIGN ARE YOU HOPING TO WORK IN?
I’d love to get into experiential design—it seems really exciting to create spaces that leave a lasting impression on people. The idea of working on a range of different projects keeps it fresh, and the hands-on experience sounds so fullling. Branding is also something I’m interested in since shaping a brand’s identity feels like such a cool, creative challenge.
WHAT IS ONE THING THAT DESIGN SCHOOL HAS TAUGHT YOU THAT YOU DID NOT EXPECT?
I didn’t realize how broad the eld of design is. When I started, I thought I’d primarily be focusing on graphic design, but I’ve discovered it encompasses so much more—everything from product and systems design to editorial and user interface design.
WHAT ARE YOU READING, LISTENING TO, WATCHING?
I’m currently really enjoying watching The English Teacher on TV. I also just finished reading The Sirens of Titan by Kurt Vonnegut and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow.
