About me and my work

Hi I'm Brianna, and I’m a Los Angeles native, artist and surface pattern designer.

My style is shaped by the visual language of Southern California living — warm light, natural textures, native plants, bold shapes, and the optimism of everyday life here. I’m especially drawn to nature and the way organic forms can be simplified into playful, graphic compositions.

With a background in interior design and art history, my transition into surface pattern design felt like a natural evolution. I have a special connection to storytelling through visual gesture and color. My process is intuitive and exploratory, often beginning with painting, drawing, or simple mark-making before developing into more refined compositions and repeating patterns.

The result is work that feels relaxed but considered, modern without feeling rigid, and joyful without being overly sweet.

I create artwork and patterns for licensing across home, textiles, paper goods, lifestyle products, apparel and other surfaces, and I’m always interested in collaborating with brands that value color, simplicity, and a fresh point of view.

If you’re interested in working together or licensing my artwork, please reach out through the contact page or email me at hello@briannajohnsoncreative.com.
