Portland Branding & Design Studio Rooted in Strategy for Your Success

ever feel like you offer so much more value than your brand reflects?

Well, that’s exactly what we’ve helped countless CEOs and entrepreneurs like you fix.

Bethany McCamish, at your service. I’m the founder, brand strategist, and creative director here at Bethany Works®.

I take a custom approach to design, meaning I’ll never force you into a certain design style, aesthetic, template, or trend. Rather, I study how your brand can best connect with your people, and then highlight those elements through strategy and psychology backed visual design.

Because great design? It’s about so much more than a cookie-cutter fast solution. It’s about setting your business up for long-term growth, big-picture impact, and lasting legacy. You with me? (And my team! This is a woman-owned and operated business!)

Bethany’s Origin Story

a desire to create impact

I’ve always experienced the world through creating. At age eleven, I first realized I could “create” a photograph with my parent’s clunky old Canon camera. I took a picture of my sister running down the beach, silhouetted against a stark white sky as water droplets splashed violently against her ankles. Every time I looked at that photo, I could feel the scene unfolding over and over again. My desire to create for a living started to grow from there.

This drive led me to fine arts school, where I first learned about design, color theory, and psychology-backed frameworks. The more I learned, the more I realized the power of strategic branding to bring massive clarity, confidence, and growth to business owners.

Eventually, I graduated with my BFA and MAT and began helping students learn to create as a high school graphic design and English teacher. After several years, my heart and focus shifted from helping students to helping business owners through branding and web design that meant something. So I turned in my classroom keys for a laptop and a mission.

that was 7 years ago, and since then i have been i spending my time serving movers, dreamers, and trailblazers ready to elevate their brand and build momentum behind their legacy.

In the time since opening the doors on my business, I have grown a women-owned and operated team, co-authored a book, and appeared on numerous podcasts and stages.
