Hi! I’m Deann.
I’m really into design.
15+ years experience. 5 years teaching graphic and product design. Masters in Sustainable Design.
I’m a design industry veteran with particular experience in the athletic and outdoor marketplaces, an education in sustainable design methods, and a passion for creative work that doesn’t just sell product, but actually triggers positive change.
When I’m not designing things, you’re likely to find me on my mountain bike or swimming in a lake someplace. My happy place is anywhere outdoors.
Joy. Beauty. Purpose.

Great Brands Start with Great Values
All my work stems from a deep understanding of how to best communicate the meaningful mission behind a company’s work. Whatever your company’s reason for being is – I am here to capture it.

Tidal Wave Goods
My pandemic-inspired hobbies have been stacking up, but one thing I’ve really enjoyed has been designing and 3D printing plant-based PLA jewelry. These low-impact, zero-waste accent pieces can be purchased at my Etsy site, Tidal Wave Goods.
Short Films
I’ve completed several major bike packing routes, including the Oregon Timber Trail, the Cape Loop Baja, and the Hart Sheldon Hot Springs desert route. As I experience these rides, I enjoy filming organically as I go. The following films were both accepted into the Filmed By Bike festival. Hope you enjoy suffering as much as I do! J/k, no one enjoys suffering as much as me.
