Hello, my name is Brittany.

-
a writer
-
autistic
-
a marketer
The Writer
I am, first and foremost, a writer. I adore creativity and storytelling because it requires curiosity. It requires looking at a situation from all angles, and then putting the best words forward.
In my senior year of high school, I took a Writer’s Craft course, and my love of writing flourished and fastened into place. I’ve since written hundreds of thousands of words: fiction stories, website copy, email newsletters, social media captions, blog posts, poems, and more. Anything that involves words, putting pen to paper or fingertips to a keyboard, I’ll be on board.
The Autistic
In 2021, between my second and third year of college, I received my autism diagnosis. I have always felt different. But at 22 years old, I finally had the language to understand and express myself.
I’ve since embraced my neurotype and disability and the amazing online community of people just like me. While being autistic is not without its challenges (and I face them every day) I am grateful for my differences and the unique way I see the world.
The Marketer
Within two weeks of attending the General Business program in college, I knew I wanted to focus on marketing. I graduated with a diploma in Business Administration Marketing in April of 2022 and started NOTOLUX by that November.
By combining my three passions: writing, designing, and organizing, I’ve had the opportunity to help small businesses market their products and services efficiently and headache-free.
Fun Facts
I’m actually biracial. My father is from Guyana, South America and I’ve always been proud of that fact.
I was diagnosed with Autism in May of 2021. It has changed my life in that I finally, finally understand who I am.
I’m a twin. While we definitely look similar, the hilarious thing is that we are complete opposites personality-wise.
I know origami. I started learning in 5th grade and while I haven’t learned anything new in ages, the muscle memory of folding the paper stuck.
I’m only 4’10”. How I feel about this fact truly depends on the day, so I’m not sure it qualifies as “fun,” but whatever.
I have a typewriter. It is my prized possession. If I ever sell it, assume I’ve gone mad.
