In 2016, Travel Portland rolled out a series of zines for their "Portland is Happening Now" campaign. I proposed creating an abbreviated skate directory for newcomers and tourists visiting Portland.
The effort consisted of countless interview sessions, phone calls and coffee dates with locals and their take on the Portland skate history.
Documenting these individuals and their stories, I began to craft a written history of our local skate culture.
Creating 'For Skater By Skaters' was definitely an experience. I learned a great deal - being a newcomer myself - about the Portland community and our skate history at large.
