OUR CREATIVE TEAM
Who We Are
We are right and left brain makers connected at the hip. Our expertise runs as deep in design and style, as it does in data-science and strategic planning.
Zoe Mendell
Creative Director
Word-Image Maker
Web Designer
I’m the Zoe of ZoePDX. I help brands navigate and develop their touchpoints with the world. My mind is always on, looking for inspiration in unexpected places, and formulating kinetic solutions for our clients. I am a true believer in kindness, and an advocate of smart simplicity.
My design career started over a decade ago as the in-house creative at a little winery in the Willamette Valley. Very quickly I learned that the intersection of strategic thinking, design and technology is the key to creating an influential brand presence. When not at my desk I’m either out running, in the kitchen with friends, or en route to someplace I’ve never been.
