About

A native of the Philadelphia area, Brigid studied Civil Engineering and Architecture, then worked designing and building roads and bridges in Georgia for a few years before moving to San Diego.  Changing course, she had various roles and over a dozen years in IT at a financial services firm before deciding to pivot again.

The next few years involved Feng Shui, green interior design and real estate staging before focusing on her lifelong love of photography and diving into the arts community.

Over the past almost 20 years Brigid has collaborated with a variety of Oceanside and San Diego regional arts organizations and creatives. She has done a number of projects for the Oceanside Museum of Art, worked for the City of Encinitas as Arts Assistant for a few COVID years and is currently focused on arts non profit efforts in Oceanside. She is the chair of the City of Oceanside Arts Commission, Executive Director of the Oceanside Art Walk, North County Arts Network founding board member, Oceanside California Cultural District Steering Committee member, Studio ACE Artist Advisory Council member, MainStreet Oceanside Design Committee member, Downtown Oceanside Property and Business Improvement District Governing Committee member, member of the Local Area Arts Agency Learning Network and a volunteer tax preparer. She has served on grant panels for the California Arts Council and the cities of San Diego, Coronado, Carlsbad and Oceanside.

She has certifications in Green Design (LEED AP) and Feng Shui as well as degrees in Digital Photography (AA, Mira Costa College), Civil Engineering (BS, Carnegie Mellon University) and Technology Management (MBA, University of Phoenix).

Support for the local community through volunteering is important to Brigid, and 10% of all profit goes to charitable causes.  In addition, sustainability is a motivating factor in all operational decisions and selection of vendors.

This guy started it all, a grade school graduation gift

This guy started it all, a grade school graduation gift

I lay my head, On down pillows and bare earth

To make ready future days, 

And rise with the World 

Wherever I find myself.
