Brittni Watkins
Brittni Watkins is an algorithmic artist, software engineer, and educator whose work lives at the intersection of code, creativity, and “What does this button do?”. With a Bachelor of Arts in Creative Computing and a Master of Science in Computer Science from Southern Methodist University, she has spent more than a decade discovering the striking visuals that emerge from logic, geometry, and mathematical form, and crafting the elegant code that brings them to life.
By day, Brittni works as a program specialist and adjunct instructor at SMU’s Center of Creative Computation, where she teaches creative coding and builds tools that empower developers and students alike. Her open-source projects, spanning TypeScript, JavaScript, Node.js, generative art libraries, and production-ready project templates, reflect her belief that well-structured, accessible software is a form of craft in its own right.
As an artist, she channels that same care into her generative art practice. Brittni began publishing NFT collections on fx(hash) in 2022, drawn to the medium for its ability to preserve a single output of a random algorithm and for the element of surprise that comes with every mint. She is a firm believer in the ethos of blockchain technology: decentralization, transparency, and public digital provenance.
At the heart of her practice and her teaching is a simple philosophy: art, art education, and computer science education should be available and accessible to all. The applications of code are vast and varied; there is space for everyone.
There is beauty in code, and code can make beautiful things.
