Brittany Shreiner

principal with Holst Architecture

Celebrating 10 years with Holst Architecture, Brittany Shreiner has become a stand-out designer and invaluable member of the company鈥檚 team. During her time there, she has led some of the firm鈥檚 most notable projects, including The Fowler, located in Boise, Idaho, and Glisan Landing 鈥� a partnership between Related Northwest, Catholic Charities, and Immigrant & Refugee Community Organization (IRCO) to provide 137 units of affordable housing across two buildings in Portland鈥檚 Montavilla neighborhood. She currently is project designer on the largest project in Multnomah County Library鈥檚 $387 million bond 鈥� the new East County Flagship library in Gresham.

鈥淏rittany 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,鈥� said Dave Otte, Holst principal and owner.

Her involvement in the community is also inspiring. Shreiner pursues equity by getting involved in AIA Oregon鈥檚 Committee on Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion, where she was a presenter and then the host of in-house equity workshops. She also has taken a proactive approach to mentorship, acting as a supportive bridge to newer staff that are navigating new careers within the firm. Further, she has volunteered with the ACE Mentorship program, an after-school program that teaches high schoolers about architecture, construction and engineering through the creation of a team project.

Shreiner has many heroes and role models in her life 鈥� her mother, father, sister, aunt, husband, and her son. She also has an array of mentors at Holst who have guided her through the past 10 years and consistently offered opportunities to lead.

鈥淚 am overwhelmed with gratitude when I think about how I鈥檝e been surrounded by capable, inspiring women and supportive men my entire life, and when I think of all these people together, it鈥檚 not so dissimilar to Barbie鈥檚 World,鈥� she said.
