Corey Shields

Designer

Growing up in a log cabin in rural Oregon, Corey liked to watch his dad at the potter's wheel. With patience and skill, his dad would turn a lump of clay into a work of art. Today, Corey's creative process draws on lessons learned back then. His work is precise, yet bold. He's a master at upholding brand requirements, but in fresh new ways. As a freelancer, he helped shape the marketing strategies of some of the rising stars in Portland's food and beverage scene. At AHA!, Corey makes meaningful communications—bona fide art we're proud to display on our mantel.
