About 






That's me in the back, working on a cover for Bitch magazine, with former intern/student 
and now designer extraordinare for Ace Hotel Group, Belin Liu!


Hello! My name is Briar Levit. I'm a book designer, sometimes an other 
things designer, and an Assistant Professor at Portland State University. 
I hold a Masters in Communication Design from Central Saint Martins 
College of Art and Design (UK) and a BA in Graphic Design from 
San Francisco State University.


Some fun facts
 1. During my tenure as a designer, I have enjoyed living, almost exclusively, 
in places with names ending in -land: Oakland, England and now, Portland. 
2. When not creating printed matter, I like to walk with my miniature dogs 
in the Columbia Gorge. 
3. I love Prog Rock.
4. I love to make functional and meaningful things.
