Hello! I'm Laura, a Portland-based Design Manager with 10 years of experience leading creative teams & reducing burnout. Fueled by good coffee and a belief that chaos is optional, I shield design teams from the madness while helping them ship work they're actually proud of.
With 10+ years of experience across SaaS, tech, and mission-driven sectors, I gravitate toward opportunities that encourage growth. I specialize in brand positioning, visual identity, and strategic design, while also building the operational systems that help projects scale effectively.
My superpower is harmonizing teams and creating efficient workflows. I bring a big-picture perspective and a sharp eye for detail, collaborating with cross-functional partners to achieve both creative impact and operational excellence. Outside of work, I run Witty Scent Shop, an Etsy store where I channel my dark humor into candles for anyone who needs to watch something burn.
