About

Hi 👋

I'm Briana Lauren Czubkowski (chūb · cow · skii), but you can call me Bree.

For over a decade, I’ve been the Swiss Army knife of design teams, helping startups navigate the thrilling journey from idea to acquisition. My experience ranges from product manager to marketer, researcher to business development—basically, if it involved design, I’ve probably done it.

Currently, I’m at Meta, where I lead a team of designers supporting our data supply strategy for ads. Before Meta, I was the Director of User Experience Design at Macy’s Inc., redesigning everything from Bag and Checkout to Omni Delivery for both Macy's and Bloomingdale's. At Walmart Labs, I guided a portfolio of tools to help the retail giant transition into an Omni organization.

When I’m not revolutionizing design, you’ll find me crafting with my daughter, jamming out with my husband (who’s also my ex-bandmate), and attempting to read more books than my shelves can handle.

Fun fact – I vibe coded this portfolio over a weekend with Claude Code. You can check out my old one at briana-lauren.com. Also still working on the logo playing with "\o \ <" is an abstract version of "blc"my initials as I do more code design hybrid work.
