AIGA Portland

05/30/2026

✨ We love to give shoutouts to our amazing AIGA Portland volunteers and we're not kidding when we say we'd be LOST without our Operations Director, Laura Merriman! 🦸‍♀️

Laura is that person that is so organized all of our meeting notes are color coded and tagged. When we say we don't know, we ask Laura, because she does know. 💥

💻 Outside of her volunteer role, Laura is a Creative Director at Otak, an integrated architecture/engineering firm, directing an in-house team that produces the firm’s social media, website, and brand projects. Badass.

📸 She also loves working in photography and has captured over 50 weddings! (Getting married? Now you know who to call!)

We’re so grateful to have her as part of the AIGA Portland community and wish her the best in her next chapters!
