Sustainable Shopping
Made Easy!

As a mother, fashion major, and interior design business professional, Industry Impact Project's founder, Brianna Walsh, has combined her passion for style with her passion for sustainability and health into this project.

Brianna graduated Cum Laude in 2011 with a Bachelor of Business Administration degree, majoring in fashion marketing and management. Shortly after college, she began what would be over a decade-long career as an Operations Manager for Lorraine Levinson Interior Design; an award winning interior designer.

At the age of 27, after a lifelong struggle with mental health, Brianna went vegan and began really focusing on the foods and products she consumed. What seemed like an overnight awakening is what ultimately led to her driven goal of inspiring others to take control of their own health, starting with the simple choices we make daily that could actually be contributing to our own health struggles as well as our planet's.

Brianna is also an Air Force Veteran, who loves aviation, and being able to support a greater good. Her military career was an eye-opening experience that motivated her to continue her goal of inspiring systemic changes.

At the age of 31, Brianna had her first, and only child, which fueled her passion for sustainability and ethics. Having a child opened up Brianna's eyes to an entire industry that also was in need of severe overhaul and outrage within our communities. As a new parent, wanting the best for her child, she was alarmed at how difficult it was to find safe, easy, practical alternatives for items she knew to be incredibly toxic and detrimental to one's health, especially a growing infants'.

Every year that went by, Brianna neurotically created lists upon lists of safe, sustainable alternatives for various products she needed or wanted over the years. After doing this for so long, and having friends always asking "I need to buy this, what is the safest option?", she knew she had to put all of this to a better use. She knew it needed to be something big, not a blog, not an influencer instagram account, a real spark to change entire industries.

Brianna knew consumers held the power, but did they know it? She created Industry Impact Project to put the power back in the hands of consumers. The companies that care about their products, their customers and the environment SHOULD be the ones making the most profits, not the fast fashion conglomerates, or the business moguls making millions off the back of our communities, animals and precious environmental resources. Brianna knew that the biggest hurdle for these "greener" companies and products to succeed was convenience and accessibility.

Brianna did the work to find cotton clothing that wasn't lacking in style, upholstered furniture that didn't off-gas carcinogenic toxins that put her family at risk, and holiday items that enabled happy celebrations without the guilt of contributing to landfills.

Now, there is no perfect system. Despite big dreams of a perfectly safe and healthy planet, Brianna is also a realist. The goal isn't perfection, it's inspiration. Inspiring consumers to make better choices. Every dollar spent on better alternatives means industries will be forced to create what the majority of people will demand. Brianna wants to shift eco-conscious consumerism into the majority market. If we can reduce harm where we can, we should, shouldn't we?
