About

The Girl
Bri Emery entertained an early passion for design and typography by keeping inspiration journals of curated images torn from magazines and scotch taped together.  Her enthusiasm for simple yet effective execution grew into a lifelong love for quality and creativity, so with a work ethic as strong as her smile is bright, Bri graduated from FIDM with a degree in Graphic Design / Branding, and very quickly earned a reputation as the go-to gal for innovative and stylish design.  She consistently brings fun and fresh creative solutions to every project, infusing them with her signature charm and clever eye for color.  Calling Los Angeles home, when she’s not in her office she can be found brunching, thrifting, and thinking how deep down, she really just wants to be Jazz singer.

The Blog
Designlovefest was created in 2009 out of Bri’s own obsession with type and images, and is, in fact, where the two go to totally make out.  DLF rapidly became a daily read for over ten thousand people, thanks to Bri’s exquisitely curated layouts featuring bright colors and fabulous design, mixed with witty typography and a flair for the unexpected.

The Studio
Designlovefest Studio officially launched in January 2011, offering full-service graphic design and branding.  In addition to her work as a freelance commercial artist, Bri is the Art Director for the popular web-based shelter publication, Rue Magazine.  A blogger by nature, she authors the Closet & Casa column on Oh, Joy!, as well as the designlovefest pins column found at sfgrlbybay.  An active alumness, Bri transformed the bi-annual FIDM Alumni Newsletter into an award winning print glossy called Dialouges.  In the spring of 2011, Bri teamed up with photographer Angela Kohler to create Blogshop, a one-of-a-kind 2 day workshop offering Photoshop classes tailored to the specific needs of bloggers.  Blogshop is being hosted in major cities all across the United States and Europe.
