thisdesign.net is here to acknowledge the place where life, design, and spirit meet. Inspired design approached with sincerity renders beauty and should be shared. 

   I am Christi Williams Britten, an artist, mother, wife, and spiritual seeker. I am the gallery curator at GAS Creative Fuel in Tuscumbia, Alabama. I was a photography instructional technician at Green River Community College for four years in Seattle, Washington before moving to Florence, Alabama with my husband and two daughters. In Seattle, I continued my education in digital photography at the Photographic Center Northwest. I received my undergraduate degrees in journalism and media photography at the University of North Alabama.

   I started this “blog”, with the help of my husband, to start a growing dialogue about how we learn about beauty and draw attention those artists who daily devote their lives to creating.
