Finishing School is a design studio based in Portland, Oregon that develops outstanding, affordable visuals for a variety of applications ranging from identity packages to product photography to custom invitations. Our aesthetic perspective blends an appreciation for the past with a distinctly modern, understated eye.

Things We Like
Mid Century modern furniture. Used bookstores (smell and all). The gentle giant: manatees. Paint Chips. Midwestern Skylines. Berets. Late-night life revelations. The color of peacocks. Pomegranate juice. Superior penmanship. A well-tailored garment. Recycled packaging. Oversized publications. Serif typefaces. Surprise parties. An excellent challenge.
Sustainifesto
We believe in consuming differently, and less. We believe that excessive profits make for bad business, not to mention bad karma. We believe that helping others to thrive helps us. We believe that marketing can be an agent of change- that our conscious choices can help to transform culture. We believe in FSC certified recycled papers. We believe in forging long-term relationships with local vendors. We believe in vegetable inks, green web hosting, word of mouth referrals, waste-free advertising solutions and giving back. Our lives are about backyard vegetable gardens, livestock as pets, dear close friends, making beautiful things, enjoying life and helping to make things better.
World Water Day

This year, Portland Roasting is hosting the first annual World Water Day celebration and fundraiser for the non-profit Water For All. I was tasked with creating all of the promotional materials for this fantastic event. Keeping in line with the look of the official World Water Day branding but adding our own unique spin, we produced colorful, enthusiastic imagery to promote the event. View the website here.
