BrandExtract Welcomes New Hires

At BrandExtract, we've been busier than ever. On top of brand building, new website projects, and  other client work, we recently welcomed four new team members. The new additions to our team are already part of the BE family, and we’re pretty sure you’re gonna like them.

Creative Project Manager: Nadia 

Originally from Ho Chi Minh City in Vietnam, Nadia came to Texas to pursue a degree in graphic design. She attended the University of Houston where she received not only her BFA in Graphic Design but also her MS in Project Management.

Nadia hopes to use her skills in graphic design and project management to create projects that leave a lasting, positive impact.

“I really want to create designs that enhance lives and the community,” Nadia said. “I want to create something that connects people.”

In her spare time, Nadia likes to draw still lifes and explore watercolor painting. She's also a big fan of Houston’s museum district, especially visiting the Menil. Nadia's other hobbies include watching animated movies (Pixar is her favorite), hiking in national parks, playing tennis, and rock climbing.

Design Intern: Haley 

An artist since kindergarten, Haley is passionate about all things creative. Haley is currently a student at the University of Houston, where she studies graphic design at the Kathrine G. McGovern College of the Arts.

Haley is excited about her internship, as it gives her the chance to get her hands dirty on several projects.

“It will be nice finally getting to put what I’ve learned to the test,” Haley said. “Not to mention getting real-world experience in my field. “

Outside of work, Haley is active in painting, drawing, and anything arts and crafts related. She also has a lovely black cat named Mac who always seems to want attention during Zoom calls.
