STACEY KATLAIN

Stacey Katlain is a brand designer and creative leader living in Portland, Oregon... My work is informed by storytelling, design thinking, movement, psychology, cultural narratives, and emerging art trends. I'm a "left-brained creative," which is my (scientifically inaccurate) way of describing my analytical approach to the creative process. I balance observation and empathy to uncover data-driven insights, connect dots, and distill concepts into impactful strategies... I'm passionate about the power of collaboration and problem-solving through a shared sense of purpose. As a leader and coworker, I nurture people's unique strengths, experiences, and perspectives to create welcoming spaces that foster innovation. I build teams that thrive on creative momentum to consistently generate fresh ideas and quality work.
