However, I find these to be really mellow and great for immediate relief. Pacific Stone CBD Pre-rolls – I’m not a big smoker of the flower. (Ladies absolutely worth a try!)Ĭamino Sparkling Pear Gummies - These are just a really lovely, gentle lift up – especially for hiking or playing in the sun outdoors! Shivani’s Cramp Ease Suppositories - These help with my intense pelvic floor muscle spasms, pain from IC (Interstitial Cystitis) and menstrual cramps. KinSlips – I love this company! Their sublingual tabs are easy to throw in your purse or bag, I especially like the “Park Life” and “Cloud Buster” while I’m in the studio mixing or recording music.Ĭhemistry’s Sweet Retreat THCA Tincture - Using this with a few drops of Care By Design’s 1:1 Tincture is my sweet spot! It helps relieve my pain, but also keeps my mind clear and focused while I’m working. It’s just such a different experience when you’re in a caring environment like that. They spent a lot of time helping me find a wide variety of things to use for my pain relief. My first time in Sespe Creek Collective was like a breath of fresh air! The staff was incredibly attentive and patient with me while I asked a million questions. I have seen firsthand how our healthcare system is really failing patients with chronic pain, especially women and POC. I’ve had some really challenging experiences with doctors not taking my pain seriously and it’s been a super frustrating process. I use natural medicine whenever possible and so I started to look more into Cannabis. My pain often reaches debilitating and incapacitating levels and I need relief daily in order to function. Are you a customer/patient? If so, what are your favorite products? How has Sespe Creek and/or its vendors helped you personally? I went to many doctors throughout the year, ended up having surgery last fall and was diagnosed with some chronic conditions that I am learning to manage day by day. I’ve known about the dispensary for a while, however, my first time coming into Sespe was the beginning of 2019 when I found myself dealing with some serious health issues. What is your familiarity with Sespe Creek Collective?

Open hands and rivers make me feel that way.

What message do you hope your design conveys to people?įor this design, I wanted to make something that conveyed a healing, inspired and free feeling. Ultimately, I just try to make something I would want to wear myself. I am a big fan of Art Nouveau/Deco styles, something about the composition of ornate shapes is really visually pleasing and familiar to me. I usually get a feeling of how the completed piece should look and then have to work backward from there. It’s always hard to pinpoint the inspiration. What or where did you pull inspiration from to create this winning design? What motivated you to enter this contest?ĭue to the lockdown, I had some openings in my schedule and thought it would be a fun challenge and opportunity to make something to give back to the community and support a good cause. I’m grateful I have such awesome clients and always have a variety of fun and exciting projects in the works. Since I was a kid I’ve had an obsession with vinyl record covers and hand-drawn tour posters from the ’60s/’70s era.īands started to hire me to make posters and album covers and things grew pretty organically and rapidly from there. My career grew as I just explored what was interesting to me, diving further into not only graphic design and illustration but linocut/printmaking, sculpture, and murals.īeing a musician (drummer/singer/producer and half of the band Sea at Last), I’ve always loved the cross-section of visual art and music. I’d clock in the hours, and experiment, discover and teach myself new skills and techniques. I made a promise to myself to show up daily. I quit college after a year and decided to rent an art studio in this epic old brick building in the SE industrial side of Portland, OR. I continued to explore that meditative process until it became a large part of my daily life. When I was little, I just liked the feeling of getting totally lost in my imagination.

I’d disappear into my room or back yard as a kid and make art for hours. I’ve been drawing for as long as I can remember. I consider myself more of an illustrator/painter than a graphic designer.
