Casadie Jerdin:
My name is Cassadie Jerdin and I am an advertising major at the University of Oregon. Although Eugene, OR has been my home for the past four years, I am proud to call Los Angeles, CA my hometown. Growing up in that city has gifted me with an appreciation for rich culture whether I check out a Picasso exhibit, a funky flea market or sip a cup of artisan coffee. In the next few years I see myself living in metropolitan areas across the country helping small businesses rebrand and expand in order to maintain the deep-rooted culture in cities that others love and call home.
Nick Bynum:
Hey there! I’ll start with the basics so that we can skip that awkward small chat in person. I was born in Germany and moved to Houston, Texas when I was about 6 years old. Growing up I loved playing basketball (still do) and played all throughout high school. My lovely mother is a graphic designer and never in a million years did I think I would pursue a creative route such as her. I came to Oregon wanting a degree in business, but soon found a craving to do creative work. I’ve always liked writing, but I began to want to put my words into a creative and visual format that could affect the lives of others.
