The following description comes from the event organizer.

Join us for a conversation with one of Portland's most creative and innovative leaders.

Azsa West is a director, artist and award-winning chief creative officer currently based in Portland, Oregon at Wieden + Kennedy. Over the course of a decade, Azsa has led creative out of four Wieden + Kennedy offices globally, plus a brief detour to Hollywood as an entertainment marketing agent at CAA.

Azsa points to her global travels as a significant influence on her eclectic body of work. Yet no matter where she calls home-- as a queer identified, indigenous person of color-- Azsa strives to not only create culturally impactful work, but an environment that promotes authenticity, experimentation and inclusion. Her work has been featured in publications such as New York Times, Vice, Hype Beast, Ad Busters, Nowness, Huffington Post, Forbes, Creativity, AdAge, Girls Like Us, Its Nice That, Put A Egg On It, CMYK, Good Magazine, Wall Street Journal and Fast Company.
