Kristen Brittain – Designer

Designer and Illustrator helping clients create memorable work that sparks joy and establishes a lasting relationship with their audience.

Overview

Illustrative Designer & Letterer.


Creating work that engages, sparks joy, and inspires positive impact!

I love what I do because it has been my experience that great design can reach past the clutter, across cultures, through generations and withstand time to influence the way people view and experience the world.

My first love is Illustration, particularly for young adult and children's books, but I also have a passion for art direction, lettering, and graphic design. Whatever the method, my desire is to create and execute thoughtful concepts that effectively engage others for a meaningful outcome and positive impact.


I have over 5 years of experience creating engaging book cover designs, interior book design and layouts, title treatments, supporting icons and illustrations, and more.

You can't ask for a better collaborator than Kristen. She is professional, intuitive, and knowledgable to no end. Our project was no small feat, with many cooks in the proverbial kitchen, and she handled curveballs in a truly unflappable, gracious manner. She's also a wonderful communicator, going above and beyond more than once to ensure that we (newbies all) understood our options at every...
