Hello, I’m Brit—
I use design as a means for exploration and believe that the fascinated students, the meaning-seekers, and the experimental practitioners will create our offbeat brands of tomorrow.
Trained in writing, photojournalism, and graphic design, I bridge disciplines to build compelling brand identities. My work spans art direction, design, creative strategy, naming, and occasional copywriting. I work closely with other designers, strategists and writers, leading clients through brand development and expression.
I've partnered with 100+ brands, from corporate giants to startups, gas stations to TV stations, and global non-profits to international mergers.
Currently, I serve as Design Director at Matchstic. I shape design minds in the classroom as an adjunct professor at Emory and the University of Georgia, and enjoy lecturing, most recently at Georgia State and the First Round Conference.
Previously, I built identities at Son&Sons, co-produced CreativeMornings Atlanta, crafted ad campaigns at Moosylvania, and have led creative projects and teams for over a decade.
Curiosity about the world around me continues to draw me to this work. Michael Bierut put perfectly when he advised: “use design as a secret disguise to infiltrate whatever world you want to go into.”
Outside the studio, I enjoy living in the country with my daughter, and husband, Wes.
If you’d like to chat, work together, or have a project in mind, send me a note—shipbrit@gmail.com
