FOUNDER & DIRECTOR

Angela's 20+ years as a mission-driven entrepreneur have shaped her unique approach to marketing across diverse industries. As the daughter of two chefs, she grew up in her family's fine dining restaurant in Madison, Wisconsin. She later founded a yoga studio in her hometown on a shoestring budget, and through savvy marketing, grew it into a community cornerstone featured in the New York Times. Following her passion for wine, she moved west -eventually leading marketing for Oregon's Nicolas-Jay winery and Van Duzer Vineyards before launching Fresh Take Creative. Currently, Angela lives in the Willamette Valley with her horses, Espresso and Romeo.

LEAD CONTENT CREATOR

From the sunny shores of Tampa to the music scene of Austin, Kim's journey eventually led her to Portland, bringing a blend of diverse influences to her marketing approach. When she's not crafting fresh campaigns for clients, you'll find her making music with her husband, leading riders through intense spin sessions at Burn Cycle, or expressing herself with paintbrush in hand. Her passion? Helping brands find their authentic voice. Her perfect pairing? "Anything Italian with a bold red" —straightforward yet sophisticated, much like her marketing philosophy.

MARKETING COORDINATOR

Vanessa's roots run deep in Oregon soil — literally. Growing up on a small Amity farm, she developed both a love for the Pacific Northwest and a knack for authentic storytelling. A Willamette University grad with valuable wine-world experience from her marketing work at Domaine Serene, Vanessa brings fresh perspective to every client project. When not crafting creative marketing solutions, she's cheering at Timbers matches or scouting Oregon's trails and tasting rooms. Her marketing journey began with a sisterly nudge toward a college class that sparked an unexpected passion. Her perfect pairing? A creamy Alfredo alongside a crisp Willamette Valley Chardonnay — balanced, just like her approach to marketing.
