Tiffany's writing has appeared in UTNE, Bookforum, Oregon Humanities, Tin House, Bust, Wired, and The Oregonian, and in charming literary journals and anthologies such as Gargoyle, Northwest Edge, and The Bust Guide to the New Girl Order.

Combining performance, installation, and writing, Miss Brown's interdisciplinary art works have been presented locally by Performance Works NW, PICA, and the JAW Festival at Portland Center Stage.

She applies her creative and strategic knowledge to business clients as well. Creative Director of an Internet nonprofit in West Africa, she was also Senior Writer for the New York City offices of interactive agency Organic, where she was founding editor of the musician Sting's first website. Working freelance, her clients have included Nike, the Pacific Northwest College of Art, New Line Cinemas, and Laika.

She has received grants and residencies from RACC (Regional Arts & Culture Council), the City of Portland, Caldera Arts, Soapstone, and Hypatia, and serves on the Selection Committee for the Visual Arts Chronicle of Portland.
