Our Origin Story
Founded in 2018, Northwest Brand Design began as Maven Creative, a one-woman design company focused on helping clients grow their businesses and achieve their goals through strategic design. Through several years of serving clients, gaining skills and experience, and growing our team we have shifted our focus and rebranded to Northwest Brand Design, a boutique brand agency.
Branding is at the core of what we do.
We believe in the power and ripple effect of strategic design. Design serves a purpose and our purpose is partnering with socially responsible brands to maximize their potential. We strive to develop brands that open doors and positively impact audiences and communities. We specialize in working with brands in the wellness industry, healthcare, hospitality, and non-profit organizations.

It is my mission to help you achieve your biggest business goals. Let me help guide you through the design process to create your dream brand that feels like you and works for you.

It is my goal to create branding that elevates businesses and allows you to stand out from the crowd. I strive to help you form strong, authentic connections with your audience while making the process as fun and insightful as possible. Pulling inspiration from the natural world and traveling, I am passionate about exploring new and unique ways to visually convey your brand's story.

“I believe that branding is like the first handshake in a meeting.”
Your logo, the texture of the business card, the way your website functions — all of this impacts a customer’s first impression of your company. I aim to collaborate with you to create a brand that feels genuine to your ethos, and brings your vision to life.
At the end of the day, design is solving a puzzle.
My favorite part of the branding process is working with you to figure out your brand values, and how to bring that to life visually. I love doing the research: Pulling together inspiration, color palettes, mood boards, and sketches. My goal is to prioritize function, and make something that is not only beautiful but WORKS.

“I’m passionate about bringing people together and fostering meaningful connections.”
My goal is always to communicate and collaborate to deliver exceptional results that exceed the client’s expectations and to create a positive, engaging experience building long-lasting relationships that go beyond the project.
As Executive Director of a non profit, I led the complete rebranding of the 80 year old organization. It was an important process that culminated in a vital refresh and helped the organization stay relevant, attract new participants, update and clarify the mission, and increase engagement while preserving the beautiful 80 year history of youth musicians.
I have spent over two decades working in the nonprofit sector
in the areas of community engagement, development, youth arts and leadership in Lane County. Most recently I served as Director of Development and Communications for CASA of Lane County where I led the fundraising, marketing and public relations efforts of the organization.
