Mat Bowers

As the designer in the office of communications at Lewis & Clark, I bring over 20 years of experience in graphic design, branding, and art direction. I have led and executed successful branding and interactive design projects for various lifestyle brands, universities, and advertising agencies, such as Adidas, Nike, Lexus, Pacific Northwest College of Art (PNCA), Willamette University, University of California Berkeley, Communication Arts Magazine, and Attik Global Creative Agency. My mission is to create visual and strategic solutions that connect and delight audiences, while enhancing the reputation and impact of the brands and organizations I work with.

I have deep West Coast roots. My family is from Los Angeles, but I have spent many foggy summers in San Francisco. I am an alumnus of University of California Santa Cruz, Pacific Northwest College of Art, and the California College of Arts MFA Design program.

I live on a hill in Portland with my talented partner Emi and our hilarious daughter Hazel. These days I find myself painting architectural scenes, collecting vinyl, and watching horror movies (to keep me on my toes).
