Portland International Airport (PDX)
Experience Design + Storytelling
I have partnered with the Port of Portland and ZGF Architects for over eight years helping shape the passenger experience for the Portland International Airport Terminal Redevelopment.
Working closely with architects, stakeholders, fabricators, and project partners, I helped develop experience concepts, storytelling frameworks, custom artwork, and environmental graphics that celebrate the culture, landscape, and spirit of the Pacific Northwest.
My role has spanned strategy, storytelling, creative direction, and design, helping translate the airport's vision into meaningful passenger experiences that connect people to place while creating a welcoming sense of arrival for millions of travelers each year.
adidas IVY PARK (Beyoncé)
Footwear + Apparel : Color Concept + Materials
I partnered with the adidas creative team to help shape concept, color, and material direction for IVY PARK footwear and apparel collections.
Working across creative, product, and marketing teams, I helped develop seasonal stories, build presentations, and create color and material concepts that translated brand vision into cohesive product expressions.
The work combined many of my favorite disciplines: storytelling, color, materials, fashion, and product design, while helping bring each collection to life.
Nike Global Retail Stores
Retail Experience Design + Brand Storytelling
I played a key role in helping reimagine Nike's direct-to-consumer retail experience during a transformative period for the brand, developing new approaches to storytelling, community engagement, and immersive brand experiences for flagship stores around the world.
Working closely with cross-functional teams, I created concepts, installations, and permanent and seasonal experiences that connected local culture, sport, innovation, and heritage to the retail environment. Projects included flagship stores in Portland, San Francisco, Chicago, Eugene, New York, Shanghai, Beijing, and Osaka helping establish a new direction for Nike's global retail experience.
Nike Color Design
Apparel + Accessories
During my seven years at Nike, I helped shape seasonal color narratives for both apparel and accessories, contributing to the brand's broader color direction while developing detailed color strategies for individual product categories.
As one of Nike's first apparel color designers, I helped establish a new color design function for Women's Training. Later, as the lead color designer for Nike's global bags and socks business, I oversaw color strategy across 13 categories and a billion-dollar product portfolio. Throughout both roles, I collaborated closely with design, merchandising, development, and marketing teams to translate athlete insights, global inspiration and research, seasonal concepts, and brand stories into cohesive commercial product expressions.
Randall Children's Hospital : Legacy Emmanuel
Experience Design
I helped shape the experiential design and interiors for this award-winning children's hospital, creating a welcoming environment inspired by the landscapes, wildlife, and spirit of the Pacific Northwest.
Working closely with the project team, I developed storytelling concepts, artwork, graphic systems, color palettes, and wayfinding elements designed to support comfort, orientation, and moments of discovery throughout the nine-story facility.
The project combined research, storytelling, and design to create an environment that feels both playful and calming for children and families during what can often be a stressful and emotional experience.
Salvage Print Studio | www.salvage-studio.com
Print + Pattern Design
Salvage was born from a love of collecting, drawing, painting, and making things by hand. What began as a side project eventually became an independent print and pattern studio, allowing me to explore a more expressive side of my creative practice while working full-time in architecture and design.
Through the studio, I created original print collections, researched and collected vintage textiles, exhibited at Printsource New York, and collaborated with fashion and lifestyle brands on pattern, color, and product development.
The experience deepened my understanding of color, storytelling, and product design—and ultimately opened the door to a career in apparel and color design at Nike.
12W + ZGF Headquarters
Storytelling + Experience Design
When ZGF relocated its headquarters to Portland's landmark 12W building, I helped create a series of experiences that celebrated the firm's culture, history, and design legacy.
My work included the concept and design of the Slide Wall—a large-scale installation composed of thousands of archival project slides—as well as environmental graphics, workplace storytelling, and a color-based wayfinding system woven throughout the residential and office environments. Together, these elements transformed the building into both a functional workplace and a living archive of the firm's history and values.
Hillside Park Building A
Public Art + Experience Design
Created for a new affordable housing community in Milwaukie, Oregon, this large-scale architectural artwork was inspired by the movement of the nearby Willamette River and the idea of growth, possibility, and connection.
Crafted from Oregon white oak, the installation links the lower and upper lobbies through a flowing ribbon of color that moves through the building. The piece was designed to create a welcoming sense of arrival while celebrating optimism and the potential of a new beginning for residents.
Alder 9 Affordable Housing
Public Art + Storytelling
Inspired by the resilient Alder tree—the first to emerge and regenerate the forest after disturbance—this collection of murals and architectural artwork celebrates renewal, resilience, and future growth.
Working closely with the developer and project team, I developed a visual language drawn from the tree's distinctive leaves and flowers, translating these forms into hand-painted murals and custom aluminum artwork in the interior and exterior of the building. Hidden details, playful discoveries, and references to the surrounding ecosystem invite residents to engage with the artwork over time and create a deeper connection to place.
