Trish Brownlee

I am an intuitive, whole-hearted, and creative leader with over a decade of experience in the military, government, education, non-profit, publication, health, and freelance sectors. I have now expanded and grown as a creative strategist, marketing specialist, and content designer through agencies and working with Fortune 500 companies. I have a strong interest in veteran support, travel, sustainability, spirituality, and wellness sectors. I seek to do meaningful work that helps to create a better world.

I spent a decade working with U.S. Military as a graphic designer, photographer, audiovisual creator, technical writer, journalist, archivist & whatever else I was told to do. I used my magic to do most of this with no support, no training, & no budget, learning on the spot and teaching myself. It did not matter that I had never edited a video in my life – I learned to do it in a week and do it well. Along the way, I learned leadership and mastered the skills by teaching others. I also learned what kind of leader and teammate I will not be. I walked that world conjuring up the confidence of a General because I spent half of my career making Generals look good. I learned what I don’t and do want. I only want to use my gifts now with those that are trying to create a better world. I want to work with people that understand and respect the need for a work/life balance and truly care about their people beyond lip service. That is a place that will benefit from my very real understanding of loyalty, integrity, and service, and my ability to adapt, learn and lead.

After the military, I became a freelance graphic designer and photojournalist, while also teaching art, design, and managing art programs for youth. I am the mediator and collaborator with a broad perspective excitedly announcing insights and reminding others to stretch, sleep and celebrate failures, and trying again.

I’ve spent the last decade launching unique sites, creating content on various platforms, and leading teams in agile environments. I am now ready to use what I’ve gained – presentation & research skills, wisdom, empathy, persistence – for the next calling.

I can see the big picture and I possess the soft and hard needed skills to co-create a better world for all. I want to work with daring companies to craft a better world through design thinking, creative problem-solving, and holistic solutions. I hope to hear from you.
