Long way home

August 9, 2014

On a whim, hoping to make the most of our adventure, we decided to skip our flight and drive back up to Portland via Hwy 101. I, being the pragmatic non-spontaneous sort, had to let go of my planned agenda but in reality it all went off without a hitch - even finding cool places to stay (old town Eureka & Florence) along the way in the busiest time of the summer! What's not to love about staying in big old houses (a Victorian & a Craftsman) with no AC?! There were amazing sights the whole journey north from vineyards, to redwoods and some stunning rocky coast lines. Here's a few last scenes from our trip through northern California up the Oregon coast, back home to Portland.

I'm an architect & writer based in Portland, Oregon. I'm passionate about broadcasting the value of design and established  Y/Wd in 2012 as a design resource with a mission to connect, create & communicate. 

I design spaces both large & small. I'm a list maker, researcher & a card-carrying introvert. I relish problem solving & finding the perfect fit. I'm a fan of process and storytelling - finding connections between seemingly random ideas is my super power!  

Life is full of daily doses of inspiration, I'm happy to share a bit with you. ---- Jen
