Briar Levit

Briar Levit is a graphic designer who blends her love of design with social/environmental progress. She first began working with Bitch in 2003 (starting with the Transformation and Reinvention issue). After a grad school hiatus to Central Saint Martins in London, Briar has returned to where she knows she belongs, not only as a designer, but as a feminist and pop culture junkie.

In addition to designing Bitch, Briar is an adjunct graphic design instructor at Portland State University and freelances under the not-so-covert name BriarMade. She works with a number of healthcare, environmental, and educational organizations. Although her roots lie in the San Francisco Bay Area, her design career has taken her to Washington DC, London… and now (permanently?) to Portland, Oregon. When not making printed matter, Briar listens to prog rock, watches lots of British TV shows, and walks with her four-legged creatures in and around Portland.
