Creativity, problem-solving, collaboration, and the potential for real-world impact are what make design such an exciting and fulfilling passion for me!”

Over the last 15 years, Britney has developed and advanced a wide variety of brands, from solo entrepreneurs to small and large companies and non-profits. She is a multidisciplinary designer whose skillset includes user experience and interface design (UX/UI), art direction, branding, graphic digital and print design, and animation.

A few years after finishing her undergrad degree in Media Arts and Animation, she co-founded the award-winning agency Blue Artists and then the online platform Brand Desk in 2020 where she serves as a designer, administrator, and brand consultant. Britney also works as a contract graphic designer with the talented team at HVD Studios and takes on select direct freelance projects when possible.  Currently, she is deeply focused on expanding her skillset and experience in digital design systems and product design.

When she isn’t creating client work, she enjoys a bit of gaming, being a gym rat, grilling with the fam, traveling as much as possible (and as long as WiFi allows), wrangling her pets, and playing guitar and bass.
