I’m thrilled to have a piece in Our Portland Story, a visually stunning tribute to my fair city, Portland, Oregon.
Freelance designer, Melissa Delzio, is both the vision and the muscle behind this book. She brought together 77 authors, 68 designers, and one editor to gather personal narratives, quirky hotspots, and history-in-action in a single volume. The one defining theme? It’s all about Portland by Portlanders.
