Brielle Eshenour

Storyteller / Fashion+Character Designer / Illustrator / Specialty Design + Craft / Coffee Enthusiast Storytelling is at my core, and I strive to use every creative outlet I can to do it. From a jump-start community college photography/creative writing/fine art experience in Washington, to getting my BFA in both Fashion and Costume Design simultaneously in Los Angeles, to exploring a gypsy life of freelance creative work and building a small business after, I’m a jack of all trades. My drive is to breathe life to your and my messages and wildest fantasies through exploring and harnessing all mediums my hands can utilize to craft the vision.
