High-Proof Creative is a woman-owned spirits-focused creative agency based in Portland. After following them on Instagram for almost a year, I reached out to the owner, Karen Locke, to introduce myself. She had been following my design work as well, which made me smile like a school-kid.
In 2020, I started as a part-time graphic designer. In 2021, I took on the role of Creative Producer. In addition to designing, I began coordinating with our contractors, clients, and vendors; managing projects in Asana; creating improved systems for client and contractor onboarding; and taking on other operational tasks.
The John Barleycorn Awards honor excellence in the spirits industry. We won a Gold Medal in 2022 for the Side Hustle Brews & Spirits website, which I designed and developed.
