Brighthouse

CONCEPT

Brighthouse, a new church plant in Athens, Georgia, needed a visual identity that would feel both grounded and inviting. Designed to resonate with families and college students alike, the brand reflects the church’s mission to serve both the city and the individual—welcoming the lost and celebrating the found.

PERSONAL

Hi there, I’m Elizabeth 👋🏼

Lately into national parks (mostly Joshua Tree and Banff ), commandeering my Spotify algorithm, finishing all the art projects I’ve started, and restarting all the books I still haven’t finished. Reconfiguring over-thinking into critical thinking. Would rather be hiking or throwing pottery right now. Always reforming (designing).

Design History & Philosophy ↗︎

ANECDOTES

Sylvester Stallone once had to review and approve an email I designed (or so I was told).

I’ve been called a wizard and a unicorn several times re: design. And once had a boy scout tell me, “You look like Harry Potter! Except you’re a girl.” It was probably the glasses, but I took it as a sincere compliment.

To date, the most iconic feedback I’ve received was when a client responded only with “Is this a joke?” about a site I helped design. It wasn’t then, but it is now.
