Jen is driven by a love of content. Her belief is that all the best ideas come from the client and that a good idea can come from anywhere - you just have to recognize it when you hear it.

Colleen Fulford she/her

Colleen Fulford believes that extraordinary ideas come to people who aren’t afraid to take chances. So that’s how she rolls, both in life and in her work. A Portland native, Colleen is a self-motivated designer who is constantly refining her creative process.

Her specialties span brand identities, collateral, publications, typography, packaging, installations, design, and pre-press preparation. In other words, she’s very good at just about anything a project requires. In her free time, Colleen enjoys Oregon-esque activities like snowboarding and fly fishing; she also throws themed parties that are nothing short of legendary.

The HUB team says that Colleen is clever, outspoken, quick-witted, compassionate, authentic, and the life of the party!

Makenna Sullivan she/her

Though her career began in illustration, Makenna was quickly drawn to the transformative power of design as a channel through which imagination can become reality. Her favorite kinds of projects involve anything that challenges preconceived tastes and assumptions. Her guiding beliefs are that there is opportunity for art everywhere and inside every person, especially where you wouldn’t normally expect it, and if you’re not having fun, you’re doing it wrong.

The HUB team says that Makenna is sardonic, knowledgeable, perceptive, creative, curious, and passionate!
