Hi there— I’m DJ, a non-binary designer based in Portland, Oregon, rooted in creativity, strategy, and passion. I work at the intersection of apparel, graphics, visual merchandising, and technical design. Bringing bold, story-driven ideas to life. Movies, music, art, and history fuel my imagination, inspiring creations that feel cultural, playful, and unforgettable.

Design, for me, is both problem-solving and storytelling: transforming trends into products, culture into experiences, and collaboration into innovation. Guided by passion, a sharp eye for detail, and a love for teamwork, I create work that doesn’t just look good but connects, inspires, and leaves a lasting impact.
