Hello, my name is Britt. I’m a graphic designer from Los Angeles and have been working in the field for over 5 years now. What drew me originally to design? Well, life throws us all kinds of curveballs—and I found that I work best when I can sit down and focus on solutions. Visual problem-solving has always tickled my brain and motivated me to pursue design as a career.
“Britt, how do I make this super boring report a captivating visual experience?”
“Britt, how do I encapsulate an entire brand identity into a single logo?”
“Britt, how do I export this logo from Microsoft Word 1999?”
I will take on any design challenge, no matter how complex or wacky (ESPECIALLY the wacky ones). I love to grow and truly hope that, whether I am 29 or 92, I never stop learning something new! My mission as a designer is to give people that “damn, this is clever” feeling when they interact with my work. I value working in an environment where diversity, honesty, and teamwork are encouraged. I believe that team who share these principles have the power to be incredibly creative.
I can articulate my ideas, take feedback and guidance from stakeholders into account. I can handle multiple projects with fast deadlines—and make sure that everyone else does too! Plus I'm motivated to think independently or in cross-team environments. So if I had to condense myself down into one word it’d be: Resourceful.
I spend my free time making friends with all of the neighborhood dogs, catching up on trashy reality TV shows and crushing enemies in board games. I also enjoy video games (Stardew Valley, Don't Starve, The Sims), read books (Mystery, Thrillers, Fantasy, SciFi) and watch documentaries (the list goes on forever, name one and I've probably seen it! Above all, I really enjoy meeting new people, learning about their lives and experiences.
Thanks for reading! I am eager to help you with any design needs that you may have, let's connect! :)
