Creative Life

Whether they’re new to the game or have distinguished histories generations old, brands have stories to share. I enjoy uniting these stories and their audience through beautiful, engaging, and accessible design.

Currently, I am the Associate Brand Manager and Senior Graphic Designer at Pendleton Woolen Mills. I work closely with my direct Supervisor, Sales Reps, Management, Merchandisers, Store Managers and teams throughout various departments to improve the effectiveness of our wholesale sales materials, on-product and in-store branding, packaging, trade show displays and store signage. I have revised and refined our brand and co-brand guidelines, setting clear parameters for projects partners like  Warner Brothers, Disney, Lucasfilm, Nike, Portland Timbers, National Park Service, and Poler Outdoor Stuff etc.

Prior to joining Pendleton, I gained experience through working in the screen printing, marketing, branding, and advertising industries, and as a freelance designer. I’ve also been fortunate enough to volunteer my time creating design solutions for non-profit organizations such as the Hollywood Theatre, the Creative Advocacy Network, and various area political campaigns.

This is what I love to do.

Personal Life

While there’s a wide overlap between my creative and personal life, it doesn’t always involve computer or design projects. I enjoy spending time with my family on my city-mini farm growing or canning food. I like to make Halloween costumes. Between my husband, our two kids, our cat, boa constrictor, tortoise, rabbits, chickens, and a few indoor plants our household is always up to some kind of fun. When I’m not home I enjoy rock hunting, running, or spending time on our Clackamas homestead.
