Interview with Gina Sterling, Designer at Bright Bright Great.
When I was on my job hunt, my biggest priority was finding an agency that was going to invest in me as a young designer.
I knew that I had the passion and hunger to learn as much as I could, regardless of what design sector I ended up in. After speaking with Jason and the team, I felt the environment that they’ve been curating was one that could be conducive to my learning and growth as a designer. It was, no joke, a perfect match.
My offering to the BBG table is a big helping of that “new new.”
As the only resident Gen-Z “zoomer,” I am chronically online searching and participating in new trends. If I feel there’s a new design or art trend that’s pushing boundaries or on the cusp of avant-garde, I want a space to be able to explore that and have others who are interested in exploring that concept with me. Nothing in this world is too weird!
2022 was SUCH a good year for me.
I was able to grow my social media following while exploring my own identity and style. On that journey, I worked with clients from all over the globe, from Azerbaijan to Italy to the UK and everywhere in between.
Most recently, I completed a branding project for a coffeehouse in Australia, where my work is now on buildings, windows, and eco-friendly cups. Do you think if I pushed hard enough, they’d buy me a plane ticket to visit?
My pre-COVID life path had me on track to be German professor at a small liberal arts college.
While that alternate universe is not reality any longer, I still hold the ability to rap and sing along with my favorite German artists and have even wrote published research on the homogenization of the German language through rap music. I call it my $80,000 party trick (thanks for those student loans, America!).
No thoughts. Just simply vibing.
