About
the Artist
I'm a graphic designer with a BFA from George Mason University and a day job painting signage at Trader Joe's, which means I spend most of my week making things that real customers walk past, pick up, and react to. Bear Water Branding is the studio side of that practice, where I take on identity, packaging, and signage work for businesses and events.
My work is hands-on. I use recycled cardboard, mirror, posca markers, foam-core, and digital tools in whatever combination the job actually needs. If you want something that doesn't look like everyone else's, that's the point.

Words from clients
"Brooke's artistic ability and professionalism exceeded all our expectations for our wedding signage. Each piece was stunning and crafted with remarkable attention to detail. Truly, Brooke was a key element in making our day beautiful."
Brittany & Adam Bloom · Wedding signage, 2023
"We were blown away by how this mirror turned out. The hand-drawn design felt so precise — completely accurate Arabic calligraphy. It wasn't just a welcome sign, it was a piece of art. Our guests couldn't stop taking pictures in front of it."
