Project Overview: In response to growing economic and social pressures that threaten Portland’s cultural identity, the Creative Neighborhoods initiative by Pickathon was developed to help preserve the city’s spirit. This program transforms ordinary outdoor spaces into immersive environments through community-led design, mentorship, and collaboration.

I supported the development and communication of this mission-driven placemaking initiative, helping to position it as a force for good in Portland’s creative and civic ecosystems. This is the official video and presentation I helped with that brought Pickathon’s vision to life!
