BRIAN ENRIGHT

Brian's mission is to create works of art that inspire value and hope for individuals, communities and future generations; educating us about the beneficial impact of working with reclaimed materials.

All of our actions are interconnected and vital to our survival on this planet. Awakening as many people as possible to this reality is, therefore, increasingly important. By utilizing objects that would otherwise be discarded in landfill or forgotten places, he sheds light on the hidden potential of our refuse to literally take on a second life. He seeks to educate through his work on how better product design can and will eventually eliminate the end of lifespan for many man-made objects, an indispensable step in creating a sustainable environment worldwide for generations to come.

Brian has a background in Cognitive Science and Human Computer Interaction and his first career was in the field of Usability.

“Brian’s work is mind blowing. He is all about thoughtful work that takes discarded or reclaimed objects and transforms them into something that is deeply provocative. Brian's sculpture of a flower built out of confiscated weapons from the Alameda County District Attorney’s Office is one of the best dialogue starters in the art world."

- Kristin Monfredini

Working with Brian is always surprising, delightful, and productive. I have rarely met anyone as consistent, creative, and committed to his partnership with his clients. His work at our school helped transform the space and it has inspired the students every day since the job was finished. We recommend him constantly.

- Gever Tullen, Co-founder SF Brightworks K-12 School; TED Speaker

I believe Brian is one of the most talented public art sculptors in America and I couldn’t speak highly enough of his person, his vision, and his work."

Did you leave your creative side behind to pursue your life? You know - drawing, painting, making stuff in the garage. You're not alone and the impact is not trivial. Jamie has met scores of people in the corporate world who wished they hadn't stopped making art. Some of those people have been carrying that feeling for 30 or 40 years. Think about that...

Jamie's mission is to bring people back to their "art" and (re)discover how working with their hands again can create unexpected changes personally and professionally.

Jamie went to art school and apprenticed to a metal sculptor after graduation. Drawn to business in his late 20s, his path evolved. He now thrives at the intersection of business transformation and the arts. For the past 20 years, he has worked with CXOs, senior leaders and their teams in Fortune 50 - 500 companies, non-profits, and educational institutions, helping them accelerate their business and IT transformations through a visual methodology. It was during this period when he discovered how many people long to return to the days when they worked with their hands.

“Jamie's work visually, creatively and intellectually is first class and reactions to the work have ranged from happily impressed to outright awe. I would gladly work with him anytime, anywhere"

- Senior Manager, Strategic Planning and

Business Capabilities Architecture, Cisco Systems

“Jamie's ability to capture and depict the essence of what is at stake in a conversation energized our creative process and led us to discover innovations and solutions we are now using to move our organization forward"

- Director, Worldwide Services Sales, Hewlett Packard

we are here to make impact!

The Industrialicious Workshop was born out of an "impossible" vision. In 2020, Brian's Buddhist community encouraged him to set a goal toward 2030 that he felt was "impossible" and then go all out to achieve it.

That goal is to create a noticeable, positive impact on American culture with regard to our relationship to single use items and products at the end of their lifespan.

The arrival of Covid only a couple months later brought unexpected challenges, but also sparked an important part of the journey. That’s when Brian and Jamie met. Jamie was also working on a vision to use the power of the arts, especially metal sculpture, to bring people back to that critical 'missing piece' in their lives. Shared visions aligned, as did their sense of humors. Change the world and laugh while doing it? They were all in!

Brian and Jamie both saw a future where people would join them in the metal shop to experience the magic of fire and steel as a creative medium. They merged their visions and Industrialicious was born! They are both driven by the opportunities to bring awareness to and action on profoundly important issues. Artists have been change agents throughout history and they are continuing that tradition with a passion!

As they grow, they are committed to mentoring youth who are interested in the trades, as a path to a fulfilling life as a professional and community member, especially those who have been historically marginalized in the trades through race, ethnicity, or gender bias. Whether supporting the workshops or assisting and learning during the sculpture build, young people will have opportunities with the Industrialicious business.

Brian and Jamie welcome you to the shop for an unforgettable experience and are thrilled at the win-win-win-win opportunities before us: a win for participants, a win for your company, a win for youth assistants and a win for the environment!
