| Allen has worked for nearly twenty years as a writer, editor and producer in print, web, interactive and video/film media. Staff writing, editing and producing gigs have been with MSN, MSNBC, Sidewalk (now Citysearch), PhotoDisc/Getty Images and Curiosity Group. His writing has appeared in Salon and Rolling Stone, among other publications, and clients have included Adobe, Apple, Disney, DreamWorks, Group Health Cooperative, Hewlett-Packard, Nike, Norm Thompson Outfitters, Oregon Humane Society, Providence Health & Services, Royal Robbins, Sony and Warner Bros. Allen has BAs in English and advertising/journalism from San Diego State University. His eco-educational young adult novel — about an imaginative boy, his missing-presumed-drowned father, a precognitive Sasquatch, all set in a fictional ex-logging township on Washington’s Olympic Peninsula — is in progress (don’t hesitate to request the first chapter!). |
Colleen's boldly gone on her own, running successful design shops in both Seattle and Portland, and has also put in many years at design / marketing firms and in-house design departments honing her craft razor sharp. Clients have included German winemaker Dr. Loosen, Group Health Cooperative, Microsoft Press, Oregon Humane Society, Port of Seattle and Portland Baroque Orchestra. The time was right for Tilth Creative Collaborative, to share principal creative ideation, to co-call her own team's shots and work closely with socially responsible, eco-conscious clients, delivering finished experiences that nail the message in laser-guided fashion and startle in their originality. And yes, she did attend art college: she has a BFA in graphic design from Cornish College of the Arts in Seattle. She can also be found tilling her own soil, i.e., nurturing her backyard garden. |
