Hi, I am Brianna — a researcher and strategist based in Cincinnati.

I specialize in mixed-methods research, combining qualitative interviews, analytics, and data analysis to surface what people actually need and translate those findings into a clear, strategic direction. I hold a Master of Design from the University of Cincinnati, where my thesis on narrative visualization was awarded the Director's Choice Award in Research through Design, the sole recipient in the MDes program.

At Live Well Collaborative, I have led and co-led research across the healthcare, consumer products, and nonprofit sectors: conducting user interviews, synthesizing mixed-methods findings, and delivering strategic recommendations to senior leadership at these organizations. My work lives at the intersection of human understanding, strategy, and information design.

Before graduate school, I spent five years working directly with entrepreneurs and small businesses. As Director of Funding and Impact at Main Street Ventures, I built impact measurement systems, developed data dashboards for executive leadership, and secured operational funding through data-informed strategic narratives.

I believe the best decisions come from understanding both the numbers and the people behind them, and from communicating what you find in a way that actually changes what happens next.

When I am not researching or designing, you can find me exploring the local small business scene across the Midwest.
