About

Brianna Saba is a dynamic and versatile Art Director, Designer, and Photographer bringing fresh perspectives and innovative ideas to global brands.

Brianna has experience working in agencies and small design studios, where she’s crafted comprehensive brand stories for global clients. Her constant curiosity has led her to work in a variety of mediums, including physical activations, interactive websites, campaign films, brand identity launches and more. Since 2023 she’s been freelancing as a Designer and Art Director. Brianna is constantly looking to push the boundaries of what is expected of brands and answer to the current cultural moment.

She thinks of her creative process as the mind-melding of Marie Kondo, Anthony Bourdain, and a motorcycle mechanic — seamlessly blending organization, irreverence, and hands-on creativity into a unique and innovative approach. Resulting in a well-planned and detail-obsessed project, infused with a sense of curiosity, exploration, and ingenuity.

Brianna is a proud New Yorker and third generation Brooklynite. She loves cooking Middle Eastern and Italian cuisine.
