Sophie Peterson is delighted to join the University of Portland’s Marketing & Communications Department as the new Visual Designer. A native Oregonian, she is excited to return to the Pacific Northwest after living in Austin, TX with her partner for three years. Since graduating from Oregon State University with a BFA in Graphic Design in 2018, she has worked as a creative for both large and small organizations like Whole Foods Market in Austin, TX, and a family-owned sustainable farm in Corvallis, OR. Outside of work she enjoys reading, selling her printmaking art, cooking, and being outside. She is thrilled to move to back to Oregon and be a part of such an iconic Portland institution like UP!
