Briana Chenot

Growing up in Lakeland has allowed me to appreciate the simpler things in life all while soaking up some Florida sunshine. I recently graduated from the University of North Florida with a degree in Graphic Design + Digital Media.

I find it so interesting how graphic design can influence you or I to make a purchase just by the aesthetic of the label. It impacts us every day without even realizing it, that is what attracted me to this profession. Other activities that I enjoy doing are baking, spending time outdoors, attending sporting events such as hockey games (go Bolts!), and taking my dog on mini adventures around town.
