A passionate epilepsy advocate with a personal connection to the mission of the Epilepsy Foundation of San Diego County, Rick Burritt served on the Foundation’s board for over 25 years prior to bringing his deep commitment, creative leadership, and community roots to the role of President & CEO in 2025.
Burritt studied architecture and graphic design at Arizona State University, earning a BFA, and went on to receive his MFA in graphic design from Yale University. As founder and creative director of Burritt Design, he helps nonprofits, cultural institutions, and national brands tell their stories—and as the Foundation’s President & CEO, he’s driven to help us expand our impact across San Diego County.
I am honored to lead this extraordinary organization and carry forward the vision that has guided us for more than 70 years. Our team is committed to expanding access, driving innovation, and delivering real impact for families living with epilepsy.
