Don't ever dare me to do something. Trust me, I'll do it. Currently, I am the food and wine writer for The North Bay Bohemian and a freelance journalist covering the North Bay (Sonoma/Napa/Marin) and Portland, Oregon. I've also written for The New York Times, The Cincinnati Enquirer, Portland Monthly, The Youngstown Vindicator, and edited projects for Hewlett Packard, Espirit, Procter and Gamble, Macromedia and many, many others. I've also created or co-created several highly acclaimed internet publications including Maxi, EstroNet, SheWire and DailyPDX. I'm a Midwestern girl who bolted off the farm (okay, the suburbs of St. Louis, but there were chickens living behind us) and headed north to Chicago, east to DC, west to San Francisco, back east to New York City, back west to Portland and finally, south back to NoCal...and this time I refuse to leave willingly. email me: heather@heatherirwin.com OTHER HATS ON MY HATRACK: + Creative Direction <see my client list + projects> + PR + Marketing <see my work> + Design + Illustration <see my work>
