New Narrative at PDX Design Month.

On October 16, New Narrative joined AIGA Portland and CreativeMornings Portland for a PDX Design Month event featuring artist, author, and designer Adam J. Kurtz.

The gathering brought together members of Portland’s creative community to explore self-expression, identity, and connection.

As part of the event, New Narrative invited attendees to participate in a community art wall inspired by a simple question: “What helps you feel more like yourself?”

The activity encouraged people to reflect on the relationships, experiences, and creative outlets that help them feel connected to themselves and others.

For New Narrative, the event was an opportunity to connect with new audiences and share our belief that mental well-being is about more than managing symptoms. It’s about having the freedom and support to live a meaningful life.

Thank you to AIGA Portland, CreativeMornings Portland, and everyone who joined us for an evening of creativity and connection!
