Brittany Chunn, MID, NCIDQ, IIDA, RID
Brittany Chunn, MID, NCIDQ, IIDA, RID, is a licensed and registered Interior Designer based in the Atlanta metropolitan area with more than a decade of professional experience. She currently serves as a Senior Interior Designer at Jericho Design Group, LLC, where she leads design efforts for medical office buildings, municipal facilities, and higher education projects. Brittany’s path into interior design began unexpectedly during her time at Georgia Southern University, where she initially planned to pursue education. While navigating campus, she mistakenly entered the interior design building and immediately felt a strong connection to the field, recognizing that she had been using interior design software since childhood.
Following that pivotal moment, she transferred and completed both her Bachelor of Fine Arts and Master of Interior Design through a dual degree program at Brenau University. Her early career became deeply rooted in government and institutional design, where she developed expertise in jails, prisons, courthouses, administrative buildings, fire stations, police stations, and higher education environments. She also served as an adjunct professor at Gwinnett Technical College, teaching the technical foundations of interior design including AutoCAD, Revit, and professional documentation standards. Over time, her work has expanded into corporate and hospitality design, reflecting a continued evolution of her creative and technical expertise.
In October 2025, Brittany achieved a major professional milestone by passing all interior design licensing exams on her first attempt, becoming a registered interior designer with the State of Georgia. This accomplishment marked a defining moment in her career after being told the exams were exceptionally challenging and often required multiple attempts. She describes her work as most rewarding when clients see their vision fully realized and exceed their expectations, finding fulfillment in transforming ideas into functional, human-centered environments that meaningfully enhance how people live, work, and experience space.

What do you attribute your success to?
I think the key factor to my success is watching my mom grow. My mom was a single parent for a lot of years. She was in the military, but she ended up getting 5 associate's degrees, 2 bachelor's degrees, a master's degree, and a specialist degree, which is a post-master's degree. I get my drive and all my ambition from her. It's just wanting to be able to be better for my next generation, for my children. Seeing her push through everything and achieve so much education while raising me as a single parent showed me what's possible when you refuse to give up.
What advice would you give to young women entering your industry?
Don't let anybody dim your shine, because there's gonna be a lot of people that are gonna try to drag you down, and just try to push past that. This is especially important for Black women in the interior design industry, because there aren't very many of us in the field. We even have special scholarships for women of color in the industry because there aren't very many of us. The main thing that's most important to me is encouraging other Black women in the interior design industry.
