My Journey in Graphic Design with Bre Creative Co.

Hello! Hi there!

Cozy up by the fire with a warm cup of coffee and make yourself at home. I wanted to take a few minutes to share my journey—how I started my own business in graphic design and branding and the passions that drive it.

My Journey

I graduated in 2020 with a Bachelor’s Degree in Graphic Communications with an emphasis in Graphic Design and a minor in Photography from Pittsburg State University. I completed my college career at the peak of the pandemic, selling everything I couldn’t fit in my car and moving to Florida to be with my now-late mother.

I thrived in remote design work, fully embracing virtual creative projects. During this time, I not only completed my senior capstone design projects but was also hired as a freelance graphic designer for a Floridian marketing company—all while balancing a part-time job. I became a master of multitasking in the creative industry, spinning all the plates. With the flexibility to set my own hours, I often worked late into the night—sometimes until sunrise—doing what I truly loved: designing logos, branding packages, and marketing materials. And I did a dang good job at it, too.

This passion sparked the dream of launching my own branding and creative design studio and making it my full-time career.

Launching Bre Creative Co.

Bre Creative Co. was born in the summer following my college graduation. I took on freelance branding and marketing design gigs, building a client-driven, post-collegiate portfolio. I dove in headfirst, taking on any and all branding and digital design projects I could, sharpening my skills, growing my confidence, and defining my target audience.

From the start, my vision for Bre Creative Co.’s brand identity was to be fun, modern, and professional. Over time, the brand has evolved to truly reflect creative storytelling through design and what Bre Creative Co. represents today.

Why Branding?

One of my biggest challenges early on was finding a creative direction. I loved every aspect of graphic design, so why put Bre Creative Co. in a box? Why limit myself to a design niche when I could create everything?

Well, that was exactly the problem. Graphic design is an incredibly broad field, and I struggled to attract the right clients. I had to step back and ask myself: What do I truly love? What part of design ignites my passion?

The answer was clear—creating cohesive, strategic branding solutions for small businesses. Small business owners already have enough on their plates; the last thing they need is the stress of developing a brand identity that is consistent, memorable, and effective.

That’s where Bre Creative Co. comes in.
