About sparks

founder + creative director at alt-yellow

Oh, hi! I’m sparks (they/she). I'm the Founder and Creative Director of alt-yellow, an immersive experience design studio that connects people through delightfully unexpected experiences. Portland, OR + beyond! 🚀

I created alt-yellow with high hopes of investing in what I wholeheartedly believe this world needs more of—kindness, connection and play.

I’ve been conducting people research, facilitating workshops and designing experiences in the big tech, government, nonprofit and education sectors for the past decade. Now, I use my expertise to build experiences that bring humans together to engage with the world and each other in unexpected and delightful ways.

My past clients include: Apple, Nike, Microsoft, Goldman Sachs, Fantasy, The State of California, The State of Colorado, Ancestry, Palo Alto Networks and many more.
