Sporulate Design Studio in PDX.
Disperse Your Brilliance.
Hi there! I’m Scott Werley, the founder of Sporulate Design — a Portland-based design studio inspired by the magnificent world of fungi. I work with small and medium-sized businesses, startups, nonprofits and entrepreneurs throughout the Pacific Northwest and West Coast to build strong, high-performing brands and accessible online presences rooted in privacy by design.
My expertise lies in crafting compelling brand identities, designing and developing WCAG-conformant WordPress websites, conducting accessibility audits and remediation, and optimizing search engine performance to help businesses prosper online. Combining 15+ years of web and print design experience with sustainable technology and strategic support, I cultivate resilient brands that thrive in competitive markets.
If you’re looking for a seasoned creative partner to enhance your brand and expand your online presence, you’ve come to the right place. Let’s connect and grow something incredible together!
