Welcome to The Après Club!
Hold my cocktail
We’re a small but spicy branding collective from Bend, Oregon. We originally bonded over our shared love for snow and adrenaline-pumping situations, only to discover that we also have a mutual passion for extraordinary brands and exceptional design. We’re kind of like yin & yang, and when we collaborate on ideas, it's like we blend into one super brain! We are excited to guide entrepreneurs and startups through building brands that are not just lovable but embody goals, ambitions, and values. It's what we do best!
Finely crafted branding from Bend, Oregon
Mountains, design and community
We’re a couple of wild, wild women. Our curiosity is like a compass, always pointing us to uncharted peaks and fresh ideas. We tackle brand-building like we approach new summits, balancing calculated risks with thoughtful execution. While we can't always see what’s around the next bend, we've got a solid trail map to guide us. We might not reach the top first or fastest, but you can bet we'll be having the time of our lives getting there!
In our little corner of the world, it's all about community. Whether we're living life or finding our way in the backcountry, we all need folks we can count on for support and camaraderie. We're here to bolster our community and be that reliable buddy for new endeavors. When it comes to folks pursuing their dreams and finding new, more fulfilling ways to make a living, the more, the merrier! After all, most of these dreams end up bringing good things to our community.

She finessed her skills at Western State Colorado University, and graduated with a Bachelor's degree in Fine Arts, with a focus on Graphic Design. She's been all about print and editorial design and recently focused on her skills in UI/UX design. She's worked her magic with some beloved Bend brands like Dr. Jolly, Source Weekly, Worthy Brewing, and Columbia Distributing as the art director and creative designer.

Wilma wasted no time in her twenties to see the big wide world. Surprising her parents, she managed to squeeze in a Master’s degree in Communications and Marketing between her globe-trotting escapades. As they say, fortune favors the bold, and her thirst for adventure has led her all over Europe and North America. She's worked with everything from big-shot companies like Microsoft to top action sports brands and cutting-edge start-ups. But what she's really always been itching to do is help entrepreneurs create brands that really make people feel something.
