ABOUT RAINA

Raina is from New York—the central upstate part—and received a Graphic Design degree from the Rochester Institute of Technology.

She began her professional career as a design intern at GIRVIN in Seattle, Washington. A love of branding and brand development has remained a central part of her career pursuits ever since.

Raina often travels for work, having designed brand experiences for NCR's travel and entertainment divisions, while also managing design teams in Florida and Georgia. A few years in Texas and Oregon were with DPR Construction, guiding the global growth of the brand through competitor acquisitions and foreign office expansion. Seattle and the Bay Area are constant companions throughout, where she consulted for startups entering series funding to refine their brand positions.

Raina currently calls Bend, Oregon home. She enjoys hiking and gardening—often combining these interests in the nearby Deschutes National Forest to collect native plants.
