Welcome, I’m glad you’re here.
I’M BRIA, A DESIGNER & ILLUSTRATOR BASED IN Atlanta, GEORGIA
I’m a graphic designer and illustrator with a background that blends structure, strategy, and creativity. In 2019, I started The October Creative as a small Etsy shop focused on logo design for small businesses. Since then, The October Creative has evolved into a multidisciplinary design practice. My work now spans brand identity, print design, illustration, stationery, and commercial-ready creative assets.
Today, I split my time between client work and working full time for an online print shop, creating thoughtful visuals for businesses and meaningful moments.

WHAT IS AN
OCTOBER CREATIVE?
Someone who embraces the mysterious, the unconventional, and the in-between.
October Creatives are fluid thinkers. They blend structure with imagination, practicality with feeling, and clarity with softness. Their work doesn’t shout, but it often lingers.
At The October Creative, that philosophy shows up in thoughtful design, intentional details, and visuals that feel expressive without being overwhelming. The goal is always the same: work that feels grounded, artful, and intuitive.
2019
The October Creative began as a small Etsy shop offering branding and logo design for small businesses.
What started as side work quickly grew into something more intentional. I found myself drawn to helping small businesses bring structure and personality to their ideas through design.
THE SPARK IGNITES: FROM PASSION PROJECT TO PRACTICE
2020
As the world shifted, so did my path. I made the decision to step away from my career and pursue design full time. What had once existed alongside another career became my primary focus.
I began refining my approach to branding and design, working more closely with clients and deepening my understanding of how visuals support real businesses in meaningful ways.

2026
Today, The October Creative reflects years of evolution, experience, and refinement. I work across brand identity, illustration, stationery, and print design, creating visuals that balance clarity, structure, and personality.
I currently spend my time designing for wonderful businesses through client work while also working full time for an online print shop.
