Get to know me

I’m Sonia Peltz-Currie, a graphic designer with an AAS and over 5 years of experience in design and information technology, plus 10+ years working in customer service. I’ve called Portland, Oregon home since 2017, after spending time in Silicon Valley and growing up in Berkeley, California. I thrive on blending technical know-how with a practical, solution-focused approach, always tackling challenges with a mix of creativity, efficiency, and collaboration. When I’m not working, you’ll find me hiking through mossy forests, getting lost in puzzles, playing pinball, or spending quality time with my many pets.
