Sydney Brown (she/her) is a Senior Designer and Digital Creator based in Washington, DC.
Overthinking leads to overdoing so she's opted to keep things simple. Her approach to design is freshly energetic balancing a healthy enthusiasm for color with bold contrast and crisp typography.
In her spare time, Sydney enjoys cosplaying for her 10K+ Instagram followers, reviewing films on Letterboxd, and eating lots and lots of sushi ⊹₊⟡⋆

Excerpt:
"Never be too nervous or too proud to ask for help. As a woman in design, you feel the boy’s club energy at times. We have the need to work harder, work longer to show our skills and talents ... There’s a feeling of adequacy when asking for help with the technical aspects of our jobs ... (but) there’s nothing worse than doing things on your own to have everything turn out wrong."
