About
I’m Bridget, a graphic designer constantly trying to find the intersection between lived experiences and art. I love to integrate personal stories and imagery as well as clever copywriting into my work to create one-of-a-kind, authentic designs that evoke a sense of excitement and belonging. I was named one of GDUSA’s Students to Watch for 2024, inspiring me to continue growing as a person and designer. When I’m not critiquing the packaging of olive oil in grocery stores, you can find me reading, playing cello, taking a stroll, updating this website that you’re on right now, or hunting for seashells!
OCD is much different than how it’s typically portrayed. It’s more than washing your hands or liking when things are “just-so.” It is a personality disorder characterized by excessive orderliness, perfectionism, attention to details, and a need for control in relating to the self and others. I drew on my experience with OCD to create a medical journal that could be used by mental health professionals. Medical journals can often be poorly designed, sterile, and lacking in humanity. I wanted to visually portray this very abstract feeling of OCD from an authentic and human perspective. https://www.bridget-mclaughlin.com/work/ocd
