My name is Brittany Antoinette, and I’m a Brand Strategist and Founder of The Idea Girl, a boutique design practice for fashion, beauty, and wellness brands.
For the past six years, I’ve worked behind the scenes partnering with start-ups, founders, corporations, and creatives to help them launch their ideas out of notepads and onto shelves.
