]]> Color obsessed visual artist, Jade Purple Brown, has a name to match her vocation. “My name was actually given to me by a friend who was trying to figure out my middle name,” she explained in an interview with Design Milk. “She jokingly guessed Purple since my first and last name already happen to be colors. I loved the way Jade Purple Brown sounded, so I decided to use it as my artist name. My name is a clear depiction of my work: colorful, strong, and unique.”

Based in New York, Brown uses graphic design, illustration, and art direction to create content for fashion, beauty, and lifestyle brands. Using bold blocks of color and strong female figures, she creates dynamic artworks that are aimed at encouraging herself and others to be more optimistic and free.

“I love creating designs and illustrations for brands that share a similar vision and purpose,” she adds in the interview. “It’s the best feeling when brands specifically come to me for my personal style and push me to pump out my very best work.” And with more than 30k followers on Instagram, as well as selected clients that include Apple, Facebook, Sephora, and Google – people are clearly taking note.

“I love collecting 70’s interior design books for inspiration,” added Brown, talking about her sources of inspiration. “The over-the-top colorful palettes, quirky motifs, and the overall carefree attitude of the 70s excite me, and those are elements that I like to bring into my work.” She adds that she also loves people-watching in New York City. “The mix of different personalities and styles easily translate to my illustration work, inspiring me to create characters that are bold and unique,” she says.

Becoming an entrepreneur has definitely been a journey. As some of you may know, I’m originally from Chicago and I went to school for Fashion Marketing & Management. In the tail end of the program, I realized that my true passion was Art & Design. I quickly pivoted and got my hands on every single resource I could in order to strengthen my skillset and eventually score full-time jobs in Design. Through lots of hard work and sacrifice, I eventually moved to New York. Just last year I made the decision to be my own boss, and fully pursue my art. It’s amazing that @ColeHaan is supporting entrepreneurs like me with big dreams. I’m on my journey to greatness, and the Generation ZEROGRAND shoe is helping me get there. #ColeHaanPaidPartner #ColeHaanAllDay
