Kristin Rogers Brown
Kristin Rogers Brown is a leading thinker in communication design. Her work as a designer and creative director, an assistant professor at Pacific Northwest College of Art, a freelance designer, former vice president of AIGA Portland (American Institute of Graphic Arts) and as the art director at Bitch Media [1] have lent her the platform to explore a range of interests within the design world including identity and brand strategy, publication design, social media strategy, illustration, and the role of design in progressive movements including environmental and feminist causes. She has worked with sustainable design and design community initiatives for a variety of clients, and has been instrumental in work with AIGA Portland’s sustainability team (established in 2008) and social change initiatives, Worldstudio’s Urban Forest Project, and Design Week Portland.[2]
Kristin joined Bitch Media in 2010 as the art director and has since been a vital player on their award-winning team.[3] She has collaborated with illustrators and comics artists such as Mimi Pond, Jen Sorensen, Elisha Lim, Kate Bingaman Burt, Angie Wang, and Meg Hunt to provide artwork for the organization.
In addition to her work with Bitch, she continues to consult with the award-winning Bear Deluxe [4] and website, with multiple cover designs featured by Utne and the Print Regional Design Annual.
