Patti Bateman

Senior Designer, Art Director & Team Lead

Portland, OR, USA
I’m a Senior Designer, Art Director and Team Leader with two decades of making things work. I’ve loved design since childhood. Soon after learning to write my name, I changed the spelling from a y to an i so the shape of the word would look better. I color coordinated my crayon box and still separate my M&M’s by color. Beautiful packaging will always sway me. I’ve tried more wines for the label alone than any other factor. Design is in my DNA.

I think strategically and conceptually about a brand experience across multiple channels. I’ll work with any tool to deliver work across brand identities, packaging, print, POS, environmental and digital experiences. I am a passionate design geek who cares deeply about the quality of work. I am a savvy communicator who has a gift for working with teams that have a variety of personalities. I believe collaboration makes work stronger and smarter. I love the combined power of words and images to tell a compelling story and express complex information.
