It’s not too often you come across someone like Brittany Farhat, the mastermind-behind Brittpaperscisssors. She’s a photographer, videographer, editor, designer, business owner, and DIY enthusiast, but she’s also the embodiment of the self-starter attitude. So much so that I’m probably forgetting to mention something under her list of skills. She finds the bulk of her work with bands and musicians, producing content that’s as bright and stylish as her personal brand; splashes of vibrant colour across the old punk aesthetic, more inclusive and welcoming with the old revolution’s spirit.
Today, Brittany launches BPS TV, a new web series showcasing some of her favorite artists and creators. BPS TV is the latest addition to her long list of projects, but it’s also a milestone in her creative journey.
When Brittany joined the ildsjel community in the winter of 2017, she had just decided to take her freelance business full time. After leaving her job and touring Canada with singer-songwriter Scott Helman, she was looking for a spot to call her own. She set up shop in a corner of our shared workspace and immediately transformed her spot with highlights of pink, green, and yellow, covering her walls with colourful cassette tape garlands and large prints of her graphics.
