brianna johnson

graphic design and proposal development Associate

Brianna was born and raised in the Vail Valley of Colorado. She loves her mountain home, but was always intrigued by the city and the rest of the world. She attended University of Denver with focuses in international studies, Spanish, and geography. She also studied in Quito, Ecuador for a semester. It was during this time that Brianna saw the connections between community empowerment, climate change, and growing local food. Brianna enters the sustainability world from a local lens with a solid foundation in having a global impact.

After graduating, Brianna worked with undergraduate students to cultivate their passions for environmental sustainability. Brianna is most proud when a former student reaches out to let her know about their thriving career mitigating climate change. Brianna is also an equity practitioner, working predominantly with people who identify as white to build personal and organizational anti-racist practices that work through difficult conversations and make everyone feel that they belong. She recognizes that justice is at the core of sustainability.

Throughout all of this work, Brianna has created a robust graphic design portfolio that emphasizes accessibility and clarity. Her work at Lotus is meaningful because our data-driven, people-centered approach is what creates lasting impact for a thriving world.
