Investing in Portland’s Local Economy

Sassafras provides consulting services including business plans, financial projections, marketing strategies and financial “matchmaking”  for those working in Portland’s homegrown creative industries.

Sassafras works with local businesses, artists and artisans that love their craft but struggle to make a living doing it. From food carts to painters, sculptors and fashion designers, if your product is homemade, handcrafted, recycled, re-purposed, or otherwise has a positive impact on people, planet and Portland, Sassafras is here to help.

Consulting Services

Do you have a great business idea but are not sure how to move forward? Or maybe you already own your own business but it is struggling to support you financially. I help you determine how to best focus your time and money resources to get the results you are looking for. A small investment goes a long way when you work with Sassafras. Make a living doing what your love!

Projects

People are always approaching me about their project ideas. Some of them are great ideas that need to be done. Whether you are simply looking for strategic advice or are interested in bringing me on as a partner, I am always interested in exploring the possibilities.

Building

I love creatively solving problems, especially for others, but I have a lot of my own ideas. Working on building development projects allows me to explore these ideas, whether on my own or with a team. Current project explorations include a micro-urban farm and urban trailer park.
