About
Hi! My name is Casey Shagena and I'm a freelance designer and illustrator living + working in Portland, OR.
I spent four years working toward my Bachelor in Fine Arts in fashion + product development. Upon graduating I went on to art direct and design products + packaging for various children's, beauty and fashion retail clients. After 7 years in the industry, I decided to take the leap and start my own business which has always been a dream of mine.
My design specialty is in retail packaging + POP, product design, fashion, illustration, beauty + cosmetics - from concept to production. I especially love working with small businesses and passionate business owners who want to see their own dreams become reality.
I'm always looking for driven, creative people to collaborate with so feel free to email me and say hello! -
