At DNA, Brian Britt helps great ideas and brands to soar. As our Senior Designer, he delivers inspired digital solutions and design. He loves working out, playing baseball, and watching & coaching his two boys at the rink and on the diamond.

1. Favourite thing to do on a weekend:
“My weekend’s are all about family time, which means either being at a rink or on the baseball diamond. My two boys are beyond active in sports. My older son plays both rep hockey and baseball, so 5/6 days a week, we are out and about, especially on the weekend. There is nothing better than watching my boys play and excel in sports!”

2. Favourite thing to do at home:
“Home is relaxation time. Nowadays since that time is very small, my favourite thing to do to decompress is sitting in front of the TV. That, unfortunately for my wife, usually means watching whatever sporting event is on: baseball, hockey, basketball, football…”
3. Favourite snack:
“Hands down, m&m peanuts & Chicago style popcorn mix (sweet and salty!). Yep, I’m a child at heart. My wife even had a big bowl of m&m’s for me at the head table of our wedding!”
4. Favourite beverage:
“Water & coffee everyday, beer and Vodka/Tonics on the weekend!”
5. Favourite movie or TV show:
“Favourite movie is a no brainer: Field of Dreams (are you shocked that it’s sports related?). TV shows vary, but I really enjoy Shameless, GOT, Mad Men…”
6. Favourite band:
“The Tragically Hip (RIP Gord!). I lost count, but I saw them live 10+ times.”
7. Favourite book (or magazine):
“I read quite a bit. Mostly fiction, and again, surprise, surprise, sport related biographies (but it’s not always limited to those). By far my favourite series of books are the Harry Potter series. I’ve read them all multiple times and am now reading them with my younger son! I also have had a yearly subscription to Sports Illustrated magazine for years.”
8. Favourite time of year:
“Spring/Summer. For me, there is nothing better than waking up to light outside and the sun going down after 8:30 at night…”
9. Favourite piece of clothing:
“I don’t really have one favourite piece of clothing, but if anything, comfort clothes work best for me. After work and weekends almost always means sweats or active wear. I do love shoes though…”
10. Favourite type of vacation:
“I love cruising. They offer so much, and allow you to just relax and go with the flow. Whether it’s sitting by the pool on at-sea days or exploring the different ports you are in, there are so many things to do. I’ve been on 6 cruises now, and it’s definitely a great way to explore the world… The pic below is me ziplining above the ship itself. I do not love heights, but this was fun!!”
