Braisha Owens-Mount isn’t simply designing clothing — she is shaping a philosophy of fashion rooted in intention, artistry, and wellness.

Born and raised in Akron, Ohio, Braisha is a multidisciplinary designer, stylist, creative director, and cultural voice whose work lives at the intersection of couture, consciousness, and lived experience. She is the founder and creative force behind House of Bo, the overarching creative studio and lifestyle brand that houses every expression of her vision — fashion, media, storytelling, and community.

Braisha’s journey into fashion began long before her first collection. Educated in art-focused schools, she began sketching fashion illustrations as early as fifth grade, filling notebooks with couture concepts and staging impromptu runway shows for her family. By age thirteen, armed with her first sewing machine, she was altering garments and creating custom looks for school productions — early proof of a designer in the making.

Her greatest influence was her mother — affectionately known as “the Fashion Commissioner” — who instilled a guiding philosophy that would later define the brand: life itself is a runway.

While in college, Braisha formalized her vision, writing her first business plan in the summer of 2013. Initially rooted in styling, her work quickly expanded into creative direction and independent fashion presentations. After graduation, she stepped fully into design, fusing her background in styling with an intuitive understanding of the female form — how clothing should move with the body, honor it, and empower the woman wearing it.
