I am a freelance multi-disciplinary graphic designer in Portland, Oregon. Branding & identity design, publication design, web design, packaging design, and art direction are some of the services I provide.
I work directly with individual clients, as well as with agencies, emerging brands, small businesses, outdoor/lifestyle brands, publications, and non-profits.
As a graphic designer, I can provide tailored graphic design services that fit the needs of your small business.
As an art director, I am available to guide a team through longer term projects, providing hands-on design support while overseeing the creative process through communication and collaboration with a wider network of photographers, illustrators, and vendors. I can commission creative work that suits your needs, including developing and writing creative briefs for other contractors.
Close communication with my clients ensures we are seeing eye-to-eye throughout our work. I engage in deliberate process-driven design work, and will work carefully alongside you to reach your goals.
If I'm not designing, you can catch me taking film photos, riding my bike around Portland and beyond, or stitching away at my sewing machine.
