Aloka
Brand, website and the rooms
My own sound bath practice, designed end to end. More than 200 sessions since 2019, a weekly residency since November 2024, and a website I run from my phone.
The brand,
the website,
and the room.
I design brands, websites and in-person experiences for yoga studios, practitioners and boutique hotels. I also run Aloka, Portland's award-winning sound bath practice, so I know your room from the inside.
Best Sound Bath Experience. 2025 Winner and 2026 Finalist in Willamette Week's Best of Portland Readers' Poll.
Rooms for brands that host. Soho House, TEDxPortland and Lululemon have brought Aloka in for their people, and Killian Pacific sponsored a four-month residency.
Thirteen years at agencies. Product and brand design in New York and Portland for Columbia, Purdue, McGraw Hill Financial and Unilever brands.
Selected work

Identity
A new mark for a Portland studio that left the Modo Yoga franchise to build a name of its own.
SoundBath.co
Product, brand and build
A national guide to sound baths, meditation and breathwork: about 2,000 upcoming sessions in 58 US cities, gathered every morning.
Who it's for
Independent studios. Yoga, Pilates and movement studios, especially those leaving a franchise and building a name of their own.
Practitioners. Bodyworkers, acupuncturists, therapists and sound practitioners whose websites undersell their work.
Boutique hospitality. Coast hotels, retreat centers and spas that want a stay guests talk about afterward.
Brands that gather people. Teams planning an offsite, a launch or a series who want the gathering itself designed.

Every project starts with an audit. Its fee comes off the build if you go ahead within 30 days.
