About the artist
Brianne hans // jewelry designer & graphic designer
Brianne’s creative talents were honed at academy of art college san francisco and her design talents were polished at the fast paced san francisco ad agency, loomis group. She moved back to chicago and is the art director at her family’s business, hans design. Brie works creatively and professionally as an art director, designer, wordpress programmer, information architect, production artist, and account manager. You can also find her creative spirit indulged in linocut stamping, lithography printmaking, painting, book binding, wire-wrapping, casting resin, photography, or just simply drawing.
Her modern & simplistic approach in graphic design is reflected in her jewelry design. She states, “keep it clean and simple.” The design field is a pressure packed, high demand business involving research, study, planning, and design. Brianne takes the opposite approach when it comes to jewelry design. Think of it as an improve session. The materials are picked, the subject is known, and the process begins with an instinctive approach. Simple stated, “i like letting the piece morph gradually until it comes to life.” This truly makes each piece unique and one-of-a-kind.
Brianne has been a member of the american institute of graphic arts (aiga) in support of her graphic design path, as well as part of the gem & mineral society in support of her jewelry design path. Between 2002-2013, brie can be found at gem and mineral shows or climbing down a remote pacific northwest seafront cliff collecting raw specimens for her one-of-a-kind jewelry.
