Brianna believes that designing for how people live today requires a thoughtful approach that prioritizes user needs and seamless integration of technology. Whether it be for residential, hospitality, or workspaces, elements need to be pleasing to the eye, but more importantly, have balance. Her designs explore the uses of curved, linear, and organic forms with attention to how people flow within spaces.

There are opportunities in historic buildings to address contemporary design standards to promote health and wellness for people.

​This virtual reality company’s office space was developed for a sense of well-being.

Mamma Hai Restaurant

​Incorporating Vietnamese cultural motifs, bright colors, and rich textures of the nation, offer a location-specific ambiance to the space.  Utilizing floor-level cushioned seating options, added to the cultural aspect of this family-oriented restaurant. The bar is meant to bring harmony to those who are on the second floor enjoying the live performances. ​

Office Redesign

​I created this workspace by improving the existing space by renovating and reshaping it. Through design, I changed the way the private areas relate to the open work zones. Additionally, I warmed up the environment by varying the proportions of the decorative furnishings, the juxtapositioning of larger elements, and adding varied light sources. Acoustical clouds were critical for helping reduce noise.

Azuma House

The Azuma house, built in 1976, is located in Sumiyoshi, which is a district in central Osaka in Japan. Architect, Takao Ando’s modernist design was utilized as a teaching tool offering students the challenge of integrating tech tools, such as Revit and Enscape to redesign interior and exterior spaces. It was a successful and rewarding exercise.

Brianna has always had a fascination with the relationship between objects and their proportion to a scene. Enthralled by the color and intensity of a shadow cast by one object on another, has given her an appreciation of the power of light sources. But it is the essence of shape, texture, size, and angles, creating a total composition, that pervades throughout her personal artwork.
