About me

MY STORY

Everything I am goes into everything I do.

I am a Portland-based Design Director who believes a full life makes for better work. I am first-generation American, the proud son of Mexican immigrants, and openly gay and married to my husband, Joey. Outside of work, Joey and I share our home with our two dogs, Charley and Pixel, and fill our time with travel, film, good company, and staying active. Community, family, and showing up as my full self have always been at the center of everything I do.

  • Denny I hope you know how gifted you are and what a joy you are to work with. It is not often that that combination is so evident in people: excellence of craft and delightful team leadership. Please know that you are highly regarded by all who work with you.

    —Chief Marketing Officer

  • Denny, you have a warm way of making everyone around you feel comfortable, an absurdly rare trait that makes you a joy to spend time with outside of work and a joy to collaborate with at work.

    —Strategy Director

  • Denny we are all so privileged to have your talents grace us. You are bursting with creativity, thoughtfulness, organization, kindness, and heart. Like a lil duck, you lead with grace on the surface, but underneath are a machine at design. I'm so grateful to know you, and we are all so honored to be in your orbit.

    —Group Creative Director
