Meet the girl Behind the Bear

Miki Bear Creatives started with a girl and a dream. She has the heart of a teddy bear, the gentle yet fierce nature of the grizzly, the work ethic of the polar bear and the playful spirit of a panda.

Hello! I am that girl. I’m a Dallas based graphic designer from Kansas City, Missouri. I love all things art and started out by drawing and doodling since elementary school. I graduated with my BFA in Visual Communication from University of Arlington and been working as a graphic designer ever since.

For me, nothing beats a good scary movie or classic video game. I also love sculpting, painting, drawing, parks or spending time with my family. I’m a huge foodie, love road trips and just enjoying life.

FUN FACT: I’m the only Gabrielle you’ll meet that goes by Bri
