Our work
Our values
Be
consistent
Consistency is truly a key to success. Within your business or brand it creates clarity, builds trust and establishes professionalism. That means showing up and delivering time and time again. It’s also making sure that everything, from your visuals to your messaging, stays aligned with your brand values and identity.
Believe
in better
There’s days when our world seems to be falling apart in more ways than one, but we choose to be hopeful. We want to work towards a better world and hope that together we can make a positive impact. We’re committed to being purposeful, compassionate and sustainable in our design process.
Help
each other
So much goodness has come from kind humans helping each other. We each have something unique and valuable to offer, and design is one way we can best serve and contribute. It brings us so much joy to help people build their dreams and we always embrace the opportunity to team up with other specialists to make those dreams come to life.
Trust
yourself
Align Design was just a wee distant thought at first, but now it’s real and actually happening! The only reason we’ve made it this far is by trusting our intuition and following our heart. We think that all the answers we seek can be actually be found within. Throughout our design journey with you we will continue to trust ourself, and we hope you do the same.
Our story
Our journey began as a search for purpose and longing for freedom. With Align Design coming to life, we feel we’ve gained both.
Founder and designer Brittany Yang was born and raised in Atlanta, Georgia and moved to Wellington, New Zealand in 2016 to join her Kiwi partner. She (obviously) fell in love with the coolest little capital in the world and hasn’t looked back. Between searching for swimming holes, playing tennis, volunteering and enjoying good food, she’s constantly inspired by the beauty and creativity that surrounds her every day.
Brittany knew she was meant to be a creative ever since her first art class in first grade (okay that’s probably not true, but she has always really loved art). She decided to cultivate her passion over the years and ended up graduating with a bachelor’s degree in graphic design. Since then, she’s worked as a freelancer and designer for design studios, marketing agencies, large corporates, small businesses, non-profits and startups across America and in New Zealand.
Her favourite part of being a designer is the creative problem-solving process, where she’s able to dive deep into finding solutions that not only look great, but also work great. It’s both left-brain and right-brain thinking in action together… the best of both worlds.
Align Design was born when Brittany decided she no longer wanted to be trapped in the 9-5 and work on projects she wasn’t invested in. With this new chapter of her career and the start of her entrepreneurial adventure, she’s beyond excited to share her skills and experience with you!
