I’m Beth Crichton, a Creative Director and designer who’s been building brands for 20+ years—always chasing the sweet spot where strategy meets surprise. I’ve rebranded orchestras, given voice to restaurants, hotels, developed Shark Week campaigns, and helped organizations tell stories that actually stick.
I’m based in Portland with two very opinionated dogs, a love of bold ideas, and a knack for blending timeless design with emerging tech. I lead with high standards, but also with a sense of humor—I’m personable, easy to talk to, and believe the best creative work happens when people feel inspired and at ease. At the end of the day, I just like making things that connect with people.
Open to work in Portland, OR, or remotely.
