Brooke
Francesi

Designer-Illustrator / Type Junkie

For Brooke Francesi, typography, illustrations and grids aren’t just part of her job—they’re a way of life. Toss in her deep understanding of marketing strategy, and you’ve got a designer who knows how to make her designs stand above the rest.

Brooke, a Kansas native, left the Midwest behind with some great experience and a thirst for new ideas. With a unique illustration style and a passion for pushing the limits of typography, her work is consistently innovative, exciting and creative. One of Brooke’s main goals in life is to make the world see letters like she does. Her other goal: taking over the world.

She began her quest for world domination in 2007, leaving Indiana University with a design degree in hand, and joining the staff of Fort Wayne’s Aptera Software. There, through great design work and forward-thinking strategy, she rose from design intern to web marketing team lead in just two years. In 2011 she crossed the country to pursue her career in San Francisco, joining B’stro’s design team, her first job in California.

When finally taking a break from design, Brooke can be found experimenting with new types of cuisine and exploring her new home. And with the fantastic design work she’s contributing here at B’stro, we are definitely glad that she’s not in Kansas anymore.
