Brianna Alexander is an emerging designer, currently in pursuit of two degrees. Her journey began in high school taking architectural design, interior design, and fashion classes. She decided architecture was her future and to pursue a degree in the discipline that would bring her one step closer to licensure.

She prides herself on being a servant leader in all aspects of life. She wants the type of work she does to make a positive impact in the lives of those who are underrepresented and underserved. However, it’s one thing to say this and another to work one-on-one with the people whose lives you affect. Serving the communities of those whose lives she wants to advocate for by having conversations and helping in any way can motivate her to keep going and help her better understand the needs of the people and the reality of their situations.

It is because of her commitment to people, the environment, and her community that she has decided to focus her thesis on developing a sustainable outcome for addressing brownfields through remediation and regenerative practices within heavily rural, suburban communities where she currently resides.
