I am Brittany Logan Fleck

I am the daughter of Lisa and Peter Fleck, the granddaughter of Sally & Jeffrey Fleck, and Pearl & William Feldman. My lineage is Ashkenazi Jewish, rooted in Hungary, Russia, and Poland — a history of both oppressor and oppressed, and one I am learning, slowly, to hold with love. I am a student of lineage, of transition, of birth and death.

Everything I do, I do to make my inner child proud.

My professional life has been a winding one, beginning at an innovation lab inside AARP, where I spoke with seniors about their pain and helped turn that pain into solutions that touched millions of people. I worked across social connection, menopause, and sexuality — and had the privilege of working closely with startups doing extraordinary work in aging.

I went on to work at a few different startups and innovation labs working across product, community, customer success, marketing and early design research. I helped scale a behavior change program to thousands of members, I designed rad experiences that brought people together across differences, I built a medical tool for surgeons, and even built a product to lower hospital admissions.

I always felt like an old soul, which is why I was called to study aging at USC, and volunteered at nursing homes throughout my youth. I became a yoga teacher and taught classes to seniors at nursing homes - primarily to the dementia care unit (hard), and became an End of Life Doula. I had the privilege of creating, designing, editing, and treasuring a legacy video of my Grandpa Bill’s life (while I was helping build a legacy video startup), and this interview was the last time I saw him alive. Shortly after, I had the other immense privilege of supporting my beloved Grandmother Sally to her death, holding her hand so tight as she took her final breaths.

I worked at a hospice as an End of Life Doula, had a stint in modeling & acting, and my work in death (and my own body), made me curious about becoming a Labor & Birth doula too. Birth and Death are mirrors — and wow do they have gems to teach us about living.

Frustrated by the opressive system, I went on to get my Master of Public Health at Yale School of Public Health. I focused on US health justice and social and behavioral health (got a cool feature). I had the privilege of running and creating wellness programming, leading the Connecticut Hospice Student Advisory board, doing program evaluations for Team Birth, running the impact campaign as a producer for The Last Ecstatic Days, writing about consious dying, doing research on dementia, consent & intimacy (read my thesis!), and continuing my work as a birth and end of life doula.

Since then, I’ve been doing birth work, consulting with some amazing healthcare organizations and doing design for people whose work I believe in.

I see my life as art, and I like to create. I like to build, I like to collaborate, and I like to connect.

Thank you for taking the time to learn about me.
