Hey there!
I'm Sky (Skyler), a multi-faceted designer... and sometimes an artist, musician, or writer. I am a native Oregonian, currently based in the Portland area. I am a geek at heart with a passion for film, music, comics, and the paranormal. In my spare time, I can be found adventuring with my Dachshund-Pitbull Mac, and my lovely wife Laura.
My education includes a bachelor's in graphic design, an associate's in multimedia design, and a one-year certificate in web design. This journey ran parallel alongside two decades as creative in underground music scenes. Music allowed me to express myself in performance, writing, and recording with various projects. My media skills allowed me to network and help others create identities, merchandise, websites, album layouts, illustrations, flyers, fan zines, photography, and videos.

As a Graphic Designer for Logical Position, an award-winning digital marketing agency, I created ads, emails, and digital assets for hundreds of clients. This included Amazon seller content like Brand Stories, A+ Content, and Amazon Storefronts. I also helped launch a new product for our department, Premium A+ content. My knowledge of marketing, web design, multimedia design, and client value helped us create a cohesive product offering.
As a Marketing Coordinator at Audix Microphones, I helped launch their new e-commerce website, eight new products, and fresh ad campaigns. Along with handling product photography and ads, I managed their website structure and content. I'm known to be a fast-paced worker, so I cast a wide net with responsibilities like SEO and email campaigns.
As a freelancer and hobbyist since 2004, I worked with bands, small companies, and independents on a per-project basis. This expanded into a long working relationship with Canadian record label, Hypnotic Dirge. Here, I have assisted the label with album layouts, product mockups, and acted as a branding consultant.
I am inspired by the human experience — artistic expression, emotion, and dramatic contrast. I love exploring the relationships of beauty and ugliness, organization and chaos. I am always hunting for the best aesthetic approach and the most effective communication between clients and their audiences.
