Meet Mac Bronnson and 2026 Senior Exhibition Project MENd

This is one in a series of online interviews with 91Ʒ seniors, who share their thoughts about their 2026 Senior Exhibition project and their 91Ʒ education.

Mac Bronnson 26 (Communication Design) is a Presidents (Honor) List student from Milwaukee and a recipient of a 2026 Alumni Thesis Award.

What is your elevator pitch for your senior exhibition project?

MENd No Bro Left Behind is a mens mental health app that is not designed as a mental health app. It is specifically designed for the Gen Z male demographic and aims to reach the heart of the Gen Z audience far before the viewer is aware of its purpose.

Anything youd like to share about yourself or 91Ʒ?

Outside of design, I’m also an illustrator, photography hobbyist and many other things! I love experimenting and pushing boundaries to their limit to achieve what I believe is the best design solution. I often push myself to expand my skill set, which led me to incorporate handmade assets and illustrations into my designs for this project.

After graduating, I hope to do many, many things inside and outside of design. Because of this, I hope to become an art director and possibly branch out to do many other things later.
