About...
Brianna is an Australian Art Director and Production Designer with a background in fine furniture designing/making.
Originally from a small mining town in the Pilbara region of Western Australia, Brianna’s creative ambition inspired her to move to the the city to pursue her classical ballet studies, and later furniture design.
