NYC to PDX • A Smart Move
There Really is a Smart Blonde!
(and it's natural — with a little help.)
Hello, I'm Victoria Munroe, the blonde behind Smart Blonde Design. My studio is located in Oregon City, Oregon but I serve clients throughout the Pacific NW and California.
Here's a little background...
A proud native of the Big Apple, I began my career as a package designer for prestigious firms such as Estée Lauder, Elizabeth Arden, JC Penney Co. and Charles of the Ritz Group, Ltd. My last position before moving to the west coast was Design Director for L'Oreal.
After our family relocated to the Pacific Northwest, I spent the next several years as a "domestic engineer". I loved being an at-home mom but missed the creative energy of my profession, so once my two boys were in school, I joined The Fox Creative Group as Creative Director.
In 1999, I launched Smart Blonde Design. My favorite part of the job is working collaboratively with clients and translating their vision into reality through stunning designs that get results. I've designed pretty much everything: advertising, branding & identities, publications, all manner of print, packaging, displays and websites.
Over the years, I've had the good fortune to work with amazing clients large and small—but no matter the size—every client receives first-rate customer service—a lost art from what I hear!— and I am committed to completing each project on time and on budget!

Thank you for visiting and I hope you enjoy the Smart Blonde humor!
Sincerely,
Victoria Munroe
PS: I never met a dog I didn't love!
