I'm wildly ambitious about the work and pretty relaxed about the rest.
Profile
I'm Brittney Angus, a proud Wiradjuri and Ngunnawal woman and First Nations creative based in Wollongong NSW, working across brand strategy, identity design, art direction, and campaign creative.
I grew up dancing before I grew up designing. Which means I've always understood creativity as something you feel before you execute. That instinct lives in everything I make.
I'm no stranger to being the only one in the room. My culture is my identity and it's taught me to listen deeper, question harder, and care more about who the work is really for. That's not just a values statement. It's what makes the work smarter.
Purpose
Less than 1% of creatives in this industry identify as Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander. I'm one of them. And I'm here to change that number through the work I make, the doors I open, and the standard I hold.
I want to leave this industry a little better than I found it. For me, that means working with cultural institutions, Indigenous-led organisations, and purpose-driven brands building something real — and making sure First Nations creatives have genuine pathways to do the same.
Beyond the work
I coordinate the Illawarra Indigenous Business Network and build community through Black Coffee, supporting First Nations entrepreneurship and self-determination. And as co-producer of the Badass Bitches in Brand podcast, I'm part of a conversation championing women in brand who don't need permission to share their story.
