About Brianna Dzuricsko

Hi! My name is Brianna, and I am a data-driven designer.

Data-Driven Designer: A creative professional that brings together quantitative and qualitative data to make informed design decisions.

I am a Graduate Student at the University of Cincinnati pursuing a Master of Design. I am also a Graduate Assistant at Live Well Collaborative and the Center for DAAP Research and Innovation at the University of Cincinnati.

Previously, I served as the Director of Funding and impact at Main Street Ventures in Cincinnati, OH. I joined the Main Street Ventures Team in 2019 as the Program Associate, where I was instrumental in shaping the processes for the Grant-Giving Programs and Brand Building.

Before my time at Main Street Ventures, I served as the Program Coordinator of UpPrize Social Innovation Challenge in Pittsburgh, PA, and the Brand and Accelerator Strategy Coordinator at the eCenter@LindenPointe in Hermitage, PA.

I received my bachelor’s degree from Duquesne University and am a 2019 Venture for America Fellow, a fellowship program for recent college graduates who want to become startup leaders and entrepreneurs.
