Portfolio Highlights

Westward Whiskey

Portland, Oregon

Founded in 2004, Westward Whiskey is the highest rated American Single Malt in the world made from scratch from Pacific Northwest locally sourced ingredients. I joined a team of consultants in 2016 to grow the brand and revamp the web presence. Distinct, rich, balanced and bold with just the right amount of spice were some of the brand attributes that carried over to the design. In addition to the custom WordPress CMS, the site was optimized for mobile and tablet users.

About Me

Paula Austin

Principal

I’m a web artist and WordPress is my primary medium. I design and build websites that are visually grabbing, functionally effective and will make a lasting impression for clients.

My art education combined with my technical and marketing skills make a rare cocktail of artistic sensitivity and precision that I bring into my work.

When I am not managing pixels, you can find me in the kitchen cooking, experimenting with new ingredients, testing a new recipe or putting together a pop-up dinner.

Let's Connect!
