About me and my Portland branding studio
Hello there, welcome!
I love helping people. That’s why I founded Renee Lynn Creative. Honestly, I feel so lucky to be able to help purpose-driven founders pursue their dreams—by designing, illustrating, and putting my best creative foot forward.
But there’s something else that lights a fire in my heart: working with people on
eco-focused missions,
community organizers, and people who believe in the power of good food. If you are a motivated dreamer, a determined innovator, a brave activist, or an environmentalist guided forward by your heart—let's chat!
Founder fun facts:
- I illustrated a children's book before I graduated college
- Expert pillow fort builder
- Grew up in Ohio with a pirate ship in the backyard
- My family had a pet donkey named Jenny
- Explored 28 of the 50 states (so far!)
- Firm believer that there’s always room for ice cream
- Got married the day before Covid shutdowns
- Loves dark chocolate with almonds and sea salt
Values inspired from my purpose-driven heart.
01
Work hard
I put my best work forward every time by following the core foundations of my strategic process—working to meet and exceed project goals. Of course I understand that every client and project is unique, so I keep an open mind for adaptation along the way in order to work in a way that works for all involved.
02
Be honest
Transparency and open communication is key to epic, creative collaboration. I'm honest about my process and standards—right from the moment you get in touch. I'm here to support the changemakers of the world—we’re in this together! For best results, honesty is a must.
03
Do good
Be good to others, do good work, and feel good using my expansive creative skillset to help purpose-driven brands make a lasting impact. Also making imperfect changes that are better for the planet, volunteering with community organizations, and informing clients of ways to infuse sustainability into their business.
The RLC Difference
People-centered design
I keep your target audience at the forefront of brand strategy and design decisions. Ensuring we aren't just creating something that looks cool, but something that will resonate with the right people.
Client-forward, collaborative approach
When you work with me, I work with you. The heart of your brand often comes from the soul of the founder; I'll need your input for best results.
Earth-conscious
I'd love to continue creating epic work for years to come—to do that I have to do my part by being a conscious creator and consumer.
On-hand Illustrator
I've been drawing since I could hold a crayon. While pursuing my design degree, I focused on refining my illustration skills. I love using them to add a special touch to your brand—through custom packaging, engaging print design, and creative logos.
Renee took the time to get to know me and my business, and together we brainstormed several options for a new name. When I chose a name after our first meeting, it was comforting to know that I had her vote of confidence.
