Our Portland Story Volume 2

Volume 2 of “Portland’s yearbook” is all about Portland by Portlanders. Stories included in the book reveal: a WWII spy’s local connection, our city’s burger obsession, the early years of a folk legend, a secret baked bean recipe, and the everyday moments that make us smile and say “only in Portland.” Our Portland Story Volume 2 was written and designed with love by 77 authors and 77 designers.

Introducing an analog tool to help freelancers manage projects week-by-week. This 5.5” x 8.5” notepad allows you to keep track of all projects (active or on-hold) and plan out your weekly to-do items and deliverables. There is added space for projects that are “on-deck” or notes for future weeks. As a freelancer for over 10 years, this is the only system that works for me!
