Where I’ve been and where I’m going.
I began my career as a teen working in motion, graphic, and web design. That early work blossomed into 10+ years of strategy-led branding and creative direction as co-founder of Blue Artists and co-creator of Brand Desk. I’ve partnered with organizations across government, finance, wellness, education, and entertainment—helping launch tools and campaigns that drove growth and impact.
Over the past 3+ years, I’ve shifted focus to UX and product design, creating accessible, intuitive tools that bring clarity to complex challenges. I’m especially drawn to mission-driven teams building tech for sustainability, community wellbeing, and access to care.
If you're looking for a thoughtful designer with a rich skillset and a love for designing tools that make a difference, let's connect!

“Britney is a skilled and decisive leader! Along with her technical expertise, what I found most valuable was her ability to receive and interpret or translate information from the aspirations of her client to the project perspectives of her colleagues.”
Benjamin Black

“Britney is excellent to work with. Personable, imaginative, and excellent communicator. She delivers on work time and time again with an eye for design and brand aesthetics.”

Working hard and playing harder.
Outside of work, my creative side still gets to play! I’m a huge DC sports fan, and I love making music and playing with friends. I also enjoy time outdoors and traveling with my family. I’ve got three fur babies and some of the best friends a human could ask for.
