Dive into my Story

 

Lost for words, so I take pictures instead

 

BRINA

 

 

Hey y'all! I am a North Carolina native, from Pinebluff, N.C., and a soon-to-be graduate from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. I major in Media and Journalism with a focus in AD/PR, and minors in Education and Studio Art.


My work lies in the editorial space: styling, creative direction, and photography. I indulge in personal projects, travel diaries, and photo stories on film. Working in the darkroom has allowed me to feel even more connected to photography as a medium.


As I build my brand, The Shaw Edit, formerly known as SAS Creative, my goal remains the same. I explore various avenues of creative communication in AD and photography, translating my work experience into impactful, culturally driven artistic work and personal content. I have always valued expression through storytelling that isn't always in words, and UNC has opened a gateway to opportunities to enhance my passions in fashion, digital design, content writing, and photography—which is why I hope you're here! 


Let's work together to empower and enlighten your story! Whether it's a monumental moment, such as walking across the stage, or simply needing a polished LinkedIn look, I am here to serve and work with you. I offer various services, including graduate portraits, events, editorial, and branding.
