Heather Porter
Print/Web Direction, Design & Production
I come from a highly creative family including sculpture, advertising, photography and architecture. I got my BA and All-American Swimmer title from Cal State Northridge, and have been a Professional Designer for 15 years. While working in the Corporate World and the Entertainment Business I have gained the ability to understand the clients needs and design accordingly. I strive to attain stunning yet functional pieces. I design within an established brand or create new identities. My photography talent ranges from products to landscape to people.

Hezo Design is a full service studio delivering print ready files or final printed pieces and offers marketing advice.
