  • I'm Tracey, owner of Purple Sail Creative, LLC. I'm an independent graphic designer in the Portland, Oregon area. I have a BFA in Graphic Design from Oregon State University, more than three years of experience as the lead designer in a design firm, and I've been running my own business since 2011. Generally speaking, I'm motivated, organized, and have an unhealthy obsession with type.

    I love to help organizations of all sizes and shapes get organized with their marketing and go forward with a cohesive brand identity. I work in all types of print and digital formats and for anything really specialized that I may not know how to do, I have an excellent network of business partners and associates that I work seamlessly with to solve any design or marketing dilemma.
