Who We Are
Strategic. Creative. All-in, and always Just By Design.
At Just By Design, we’re not here to check boxes or follow trends. We’re here to help businesses thrive through smart strategy, thoughtful design, and digital marketing that moves the needle. For over two decades, we’ve partnered with companies across Oregon and beyond to build brands, launch websites, and craft content that connects. Whether you’re an established business looking to evolve or a startup ready to make your mark, we bring clarity, creativity, and momentum to every stage of your growth. We believe that strategy comes first, design should always serve a purpose, and your marketing should work as hard as you do.
Guided by Vision, Grounded in Experience
I started Just By Design with that philosophy in mind: marketing should be intentional, not decorative. As Brand Strategist and Creative Director, I lead every project personally, making sure the big picture is clear and every detail supports your goals. Around me is a small circle of seasoned collaborators, web designers, developers, SEO and content specialists, and social media consultants – each bringing expertise to create marketing that is as strategic as it is beautiful.
Guiding the bigger vision is our Advisory Panel, a trusted group of mentors and business leaders who push us to keep evolving. Among them are Greg Klose, known for his work in building scalable systems, and Jim Woodhouse, a strategist with decades of marketing and brand development experience. Their insight helps keep Just By Design future-focused and relentlessly client-centered.
Our Approach
Smart marketing starts with listening. We dig into your goals, challenges, and audience before making a single design move because great creative without strategy is just decoration. Every project blends sharp design, targeted messaging, and the right tech (including AI when it adds value) to create results you can see and measure. The goal? A brand presence that works as hard as you do.
Our Values
We’re guided by principles that never change:
-
Strategy first. Every design choice has a purpose.
-
Transparency always. Clear communication, no surprises.
-
Collaboration over ego. The best work happens when you’re part of the process.
-
Future-focused. We create brands and strategies built to grow and adapt.

If you’re committed to growth, we’re committed to helping you get there.
