Cory Cachola, principal of the firm, has a varied and wide range of experience working in print and web. Rounding out his creative talents, Cory holds a bachelor's in print journalism from the well-respected University of Montana School of Journalism. His writing skills help leverage his strong design abilities and vice versa, acting as both designer and sometimes even copywriter on client projects. Cory prides himself on his unique abilities to take very rough ideas and turn them into successful design pieces, whether his clients require full blown website packages or just web design concepts; and on the print side he successfully implements logo/identity packages, brochure designs, advertising designs, direct marketing mailers, and many other kinds of print collateral.

Cory started his professional career in the newspaper industry in 1996, laying out special sections for the daily newspaper, The Montana Standard. The year previous, the newspaper awarded him the Hudson Willsie Commemorative Scholarship for his combined roles in both design and writing during a successful internship period. Eventually he found himself in the advertising department of the newspaper working full-time as an ad designer. From there he was hired at the ad agency/PR firm, Tash Communications, heading up its graphics department and working with clients on various print projects for different mediums, such as newspaper and magazine ads, direct mailer pieces, brochures, and identity packages, including original creative work for the University of Montana and ARCO, in which he designed specialized outdoor interpretative signs. In 2002, Cory acted as full-time graphic designer/copywriter at the corporate headquarters of Beaverton-based Touchmark Living Centers, which owns and operates healthcare facilities throughout Oregon, Washington, and other parts of the country.
