how it started

I knew I wanted to be a designer way back in high school where we were fortunate enough to have a tech center and a design program where I learned everything from screen printing to photography and photoshop.

I went to Roger Williams University in RI majoring in Design with a minor in marketing and a concentration of visual arts. Post grad I continued on to Boston to work for 5 years as a designer in the commercial real estate industry where I developed my love of brand identity design through branding high end office buildings and commercial spaces.

My 10+ years of experience in the design industry drove me to start Port & Pine Creative so that I can work closely with business owners and creatives in my home state and bring their brand dreams to life.
