Help Me Stay Road-Safe & Launch My Home Business

I'm Bri! I am a graphic and web designer based in Everett with a background in User Experience Design and Research, specializing in digital accessibility and front-end website design. I'm building something real and local in Everett WA, and I need a little help getting the wheels turning (literally and figuratively).

My Story

Last year was hard. I spent six months working through a disability application process that left me earning less than $1,400 a month — barely enough to cover the basics, let alone anything unexpected. It was humbling, exhausting, and a season I'm still climbing out of.

But I kept going. And now I'm on the other side of it, building something I'm genuinely excited about.

I'm launching Bri H Designs — a graphic and web design studio rooted right here in Everett. I've already started working with local neighbors who are starting their own small businesses, and the connections I'm making in this community mean everything to me. My goal is simple: to be the go-to designer for Everett small business owners who want thoughtful, human-centered design — not cookie-cutter templates, not AI-generated slop, but real creative work made with care.

My professional background is in accessibility and design for healthcare, wellness, and big tech — which means I know how to build things that actually work for real people. Now I want to bring that expertise to the businesses right here in my neighborhood.

What I'm Raising For

Car Repairs — $2,000

My car needs brake and rotor replacements and a fuel leak repaired. Without reliable transportation, I can't meet with clients, pick up materials, or show up the way a growing business needs me to. This isn't glamorous, but it's foundational.

Bri H Designs — Business Launch

Getting a design business off the ground takes tools. Here's what your support will go toward:

Software subscriptions: Adobe Creative Cloud, Figma, and the professional tools that let me do my best work

Marketing & advertising: reaching more Everett small business owners who need quality design they can trust

Business essentials — website hosting, domain, business registration, and the infrastructure to operate professionally

Why It Matters

Small businesses in Everett deserve design that represents them well — not rushed, generic work, but intentional branding and web presence that helps them compete and grow. I've already started building those relationships, and the response has been incredible.

Every dollar you contribute helps me keep my car on the road, my software running, and my doors open for the next small business owner who needs a designer who actually *gets* it.

A Note of Gratitude

If you've read this far, thank you. Whether you can give $5 or $500, share this page, or just send some encouragement — it all means more than I can say. This community is why I'm doing this, and I can't wait to serve it well.

With so much gratitude,

Bri
