I'm Holly O'Leary,
a Portland-based Graphic Designer, Illustrator and Art Director. Well-seasoned, versatile and enthusiastic, I have a broad array of creative experience that includes brands and clients of various sizes across diverse industries, both internally and in agency settings. The perceptive heart of an artist and the organized mind of a project manager allow me to conceive solutions for your most challenging initiatives and execute projects with efficiency and keen communication. I’m naturally curious and love to learn, which has given my hands the opportunity to be in many pies, so to speak. This has served me well, helping me hone a broad range of skills—print and digital design, illustration, storyboarding, retail packaging, brand development and implementation, and event and retail design to name a few—which makes me a great fit if you’re looking for a complete package. I’m also kind of fun to be around, which doesn’t hurt.

Beyond the work desk,
I’m a cook, baker, gardener, traveler, cat herder, house project doer, crafty maven, walker, music lover, downward dogger, keen observer, loyal friend and goofball. I hail originally from Pennsylvania, by way of Alaska and have called the Pacific Northwest home for nearly 30 years. I possess a deep understanding of humans’ need for baked goods and often call upon my compulsion to make these for my work colleagues. In advance, you are welcome!
