Entrepreneur • Artist
A creator of things… a strategy, a business, a podcast, and a lot of art along the way.
Entrepreneur, creator, and owner of a staffing agency focused on placing marketing talent. Awarded and nominated for leadership, business growth, and service. Director of non-profits focused on small local businesses, women in business, and the arts.
I am one of the co-creators of Portfolio Creative, a creative staffing firm headquartered in Columbus, Ohio.
At Portfolio Creative, we specialize in staffing and recruiting for corporations and agencies in the marketing, advertising and creative industries. We focus on positions such as art direction, graphic design, writing, interactive design/development, marketing strategy, and creative project management. My main responsibility is business development and client relationships. Aside from building a team that helps find the perfect creative talent for our clients’ projects for temporary, long-term contract and fulltime positions.
Each client benefits from my 20+ years of diverse experience in the advertising and marketing industry. I graduated with a B.F.A. from Northern Illinois University. At the beginning of my career, I worked for advertising agencies in Chicago as a full time and a freelance graphic designer. During that period I did volumes of production work creating ads, direct mail pieces, and marketing. This was followed by a long freelance graphic design position with Spiegel in Downers Grove, Illinois. After arriving in Columbus, I worked as a freelance designer for Bath and Body Works and was eventually hired in their marketing department as a full time graphic designer. From there I moved on to Limited Too and Tween Brands as a manager of graphics for the Limited Too and Mishmash brands.
Art By Catherine Lang-Cline
I make contemporary art for people that believe that real art makes a room. Graduating with a degree in fine art, like most people, my career went down a different path than expected. That path was amazing and beyond what I could have imagined but in a moment of quiet, my soul called me back. Not only am I attempting to recapture a past life in fine art, I want to share it with you. I have numerous pieces that are available for you to purchase. You can also contact me if you would like to have a custom piece created just for you.
In my gallery, you can see what is available, the size, and what medium it has been created in. Thank you for your interest.
