Lifetime goal: Eating an entire bag of Cheez-Its in a single sitting.

Design for humans. Brandon comes to Pivot following a career teaching Branding and UX Design at George Fox University, and running an active design practice where he worked for a variety of prominent clients, such as Tim Burton, John Legend, Walt Disney Studios, and Princeton University. Outdoor adventures frequently coax Brandon to explore the untrampled world where people rarely go.

People person. Calla comes to Pivot with more than a decade’s experience in Human Resources and a degree in Sociology. From pets to large corporations, Calla’s had tons of practice making sure those in her care are well-looked after—and when work is done in the office, she heads home to manage four teens, one husband, and a cat who behaves like a dog. Helping others become the best version of themselves is what motivates everything she does. While Calla readily admits she’s recharged by proximity to non-oceanic bodies of water, what she’s got against oceans remains a mystery.

All the right moves. A graduate of the University of Portland, Carissa comes to Pivot with a robust background of working within several nonprofit organizations in Oregon, particularly in the realm of fundraising and development.
