Jessica
Lee
Motivated by planning, project management and pasta, specifically carbonara. Met her husband at a Halloween party, and has a knack for killer costumes. Her favorite: zombie bride for their engagement party. Sundays are spent relaxing with her yellow lab. Craft beer is involved. So are movies. If she could pick one person to make her dinner it would be Queer Eye’s Antoni Porowski. Loves Ducks. Not the animal, the team.

Helping to open an Icelandic hotel. Plants and patterns keep her inspired, as do the 3-4 beverages she always seems to have on hand. Loves sushi, doesn’t mind the dentist, and is living proof that curiosity is a superpower.

Kait
Spielmaker
Social media gal, Midwest transplant and unapologetic lilac lover, she’s living it up in the PNW with her partner and dog. At parties, you’ll find her crafting the perfect playlist or retelling a story for the hundredth time. She travels for adventure, like summiting a volcano in Guatemala, backpacking across Isle Royale (with no reception, electricity, or running water), or hiking Trolltunga in Norway. She has big dreams to thru-hike the PCT one day. Always chasing live music and always down for a dive bar, she’s the loudest person at the function—and not even a little sorry about it.

Natalie
Stronczek
A health-centric client’s dream come true: a registered dietitian with a passion for wellness and a talent for food and beverage PR. As comfortable exploring her adopted hometown (Portland) as she is seeking out the loveliest place to grab a bite anywhere in the world (Budapest, for example). If there’s a nutrition-related question, she’ll answer it. If there’s a cute wine bar, she’ll find it.

Justine
Goodiel
A Midwesterner by way of LA, originally inspired by Kelly Cutrone and Samantha Jones. Now calls the PNW home and is inspired by mountains. Lifelong appreciator of expertly curated festival lineups but has given up her Coachella habit. Knows too much about astrology and doesn’t fully buy into it. Always listening to a podcast or watching YouTube… usually watching a podcast on YouTube. Will talk your ear off about the Portland pizza scene.

Olivia
Brodsky
Oregon native who grew up on the ice, both figure skating and traveling with family to hockey tournaments in Alaska and Canada. When closer to home, loves little towns in the Gorge with stunning views of the water, and time with dogs Daisy and Bowser. Will follow her favorite artists anywhere and has the concert ticket deal-finding skills to prove it. Next on the travel bucket list: kangaroos in Australia! (Just give her a minute to make peace with the massive spiders.)

Grace
Miyoshi
Tokyo-born but Portland-raised with a passion for nature – specifically bodies of water. Loves a good self-improvement book but knows that sometimes self-improvement means a good binge watch with a side of Wingstop. A perfect day at the office (for which she has a daily uniform) must include lots of laughter. Outside of work, you can find this soft-serve addict at a thrift store, an estate sale or in the kitchen cooking with friends.
