Brittany Shreiner Named a Woman of Vision

We’re beyond proud that Principal Brittany Shreiner has been named on the distinguished 2023 Women of Vision list. Women of Vision is the region’s preeminent recognition and educational program that supports the women shaping the built environment with their technical skills, leadership, mentorship, community involvement, and influence in creating opportunities in the industries for future generations of women. Each year, the Daily Journal of Commerce recognizes 45 outstanding women in the architecture, engineering, construction, and related industries with this award.

Celebrating Brittany

Brittany joined Holst as an architectural designer in 2013. Her talent, enthusiasm, and irresistible positivity immediately stood out. In the past decade, Brittany has become an invaluable member of our team, a stand-out designer rooted in mission-driven work, a trusted colleague, and a proponent of change…not only within our firm but in the AEC industry as a whole.

Brittany's Inspiring Work

It’s no coincidence that Brittany’s years with Holst have aligned with some of Holst’s notable advancements. Brittany’s involvement, ideas, time, and efforts across design projects, firm initiatives, and community organizations helped lay the groundwork to achieve these goals.

During her tenure with Holst, Brittany has led some of the firm’s most significant multi-family housing projects, including The Fowler, located in Boise, Idaho, and Aldea at Glisan Landing, located in Portland’s Montavilla neighborhood. She is currently the Project Designer for the largest project in Multnomah County Library’s $387 million bond, East County Library in Gresham, Oregon.

“Brittany has been a force for good since she began working at Holst. Her unique combination of tenacity and generosity has given her the tools to become an extremely effective designer and leader in our office. In addition to leading the creation of our core values, Britt regularly guides our office retreats, our strategic initiatives, and some of our most complex projects. Brittany also has a way of inspiring others around her with her quiet confidence and deft design skills. Her optimism is only topped by her talent. If I ever have to phone a friend on Who Wants to be a Millionaire, I’m phoning Brittany.”
