multimethod is a creative strategic design firm based in Portland, Oregon.
The firm is comprised of two principals, Jeremy Swartz, creative director/curator, and Wade Larsen, art director/graphic designer. Since our inception we have strived to use multi-methodological creativity as a force for good. Sustainability, ethical awareness, and thrivability have always been the core of our values and greatly influence our approach to every project we accept. Multimethod has collaborated with Universities, Non-Profits, Community Organizations, Ecological Trusts, Record Labels, Farms, Publishers, and International Conferences.
