Two freelancers, one shared frustration, six years later

We started VividPress in 2019 because good creative work kept getting diluted by the fourth layer of account management. Here's the short version of how we got from a shared desk to a six-person studio.

“We got tired of watching good ideas

get watered down by committee.”

So in 2019 we left our agency day jobs

‘and built the shop’ we wished we worked at.

Why we exist

Three things we've held onto since day one

The VividPress team gathered around a table reviewing project boards in the Portland studio

  • One point of contact

    The strategist who scopes your project is the same person who signs off on the final files — no handoff between a "sales team" and a "delivery team."

  • Small enough to say no

    We cap active projects at 8 concurrently so every client gets a strategist who actually remembers their brand guidelines without checking a doc first.

  • Recognized, not self-declared

    Three regional design awards since 2022, judged by working creative directors outside our own network — not a self-submitted badge.
