HELLO PORTLAND!

Portland's explosive design scene has been calling, and was definitely overdue for a much anticipated visit.  An impromptu weekend in the Northwest design Mecca was truly an inspiring time! We met so many creative shop owners, ate so many memorable meals, and criss crossed the walkable city's design neighborhoods. Art and inspiration were literally found on every street corner, and getting lost resulted in numerous serendipitous finds. Some shops were discovered through their colorful window displays, other shops specifically navigated to thanks to designer friends' recommendations. Everyone was so nice and helpful. It was as enjoyable chatting with the shop owners as it was photographing the beautiful wares. Stay tuned for numerous posts this week sharing what we discovered.
