Hello there, the name is Brianna Criswell. Though feel free to just call me Bri.
I’m currently an assistant at a public library here in Florida and am presently pursuing my master’s in Information Science at Florida State University. Before I began my library career path my education and experience was mostly in art and digital media.
I attended Ringling College of Art and Design for two years where I was an illustration student, after that I transferred out to complete my associates and then transferred to FGCU to finish my Bachelor’s with their art program. Because of that I also have a lot of time and experience with a lot of digital media programs and techniques. I have also had soem experience applying these skills in the academic field as I spent a length of time as an intern at the Edision Ford Winter Estates!
I’m looking forward to this class to learn a little bit more about digital media design, see how much more effectively I can apply these skills in the information science field. I look forward to getting my hands back into my “First Love ” career field.
Outside of my career, as you can guess from my education that I love art! I have always been into comics, animation, illustration, and even classical art. I’ve been a long time fan of Disney animation though I have fallen in love with many more studios over the years such as Cartoon Saloon and Studio Ghibli.
I have a cat named Loki, a little ball of mischief that me and mother adopted from the nearby humane society! I love him dearly, though he does cause a lot of trouble sometimes…
I look forward to the rest of the semester with you all!
Hi, Bri! I love that the name given to Loki fits him so well, even the handsomeness matches too! I had a dog that I rescued from the Humane Society too and they are the most loveable beings you will find, even with the mischievous personality. Your background in art and design will definitely help in this class! I enjoy that you can come back to your roots while still integrating your current passion. Similar to this class, the internship you participated in is interesting since it gives you a glimpse into museums and how your expertise in the arts is a helpful asset. I am so delighted that you are in the same program as I am and I hope we can learn much more about what it means to use digital media for the libraries!
