Hey there, I’m Avery


I’m a Creative Director, living and working in Portland. But you already knew that. One thing you might not know is that “Return Of The Mack” is my favorite song and every day I try to approach work with as much empathy and foolishness as possible.

Whoops, that’s two things. I’m not great at math.

You can reach me at averystokes303 [@] gmail or on LinkedIn.

If you’re recruiting, you should check out hireblackfemalecreatives.com and diversecreatives.com.
Our industry could use more perspective from people who don’t look like this guy.
