With more than 16 years of experience spanning communications, printing, graphic design, and mail production, Jessie Hansen brings deep industry knowledge and hands-on expertise to North Plains Living. Her career has consistently focused on helping organizations communicate clearly, creatively, and at scale—skills that now support her mission of building meaningful community connection through local media.

Jessie began her career running her own graphic design business, Jessie Taylor Design, where she spent nearly four years working with a large client in the music industry. This entrepreneurial experience gave her a strong foundation in creative strategy, client relations, and managing complex projects from concept through delivery.

She then went on to manage her own print center, overseeing daily operations, production schedules, vendor relationships, and high-volume print workflows. In this role, Jessie also gained experience managing projects on an international level for a large local microchip corporation, coordinating detailed print initiatives across global teams with precision and consistency.

Building on that experience, Jessie worked in fast-paced production environments at the Nike Print Shop and AnchorPointe Graphics, where she further refined her skills in brand standards, quality control, and large-scale print production.

Most recently, Jessie worked in the Communications Program at the City of Beaverton, where she coordinated citywide printing and mailing efforts and supported the production of a widely distributed municipal newsletter. Her role required strong project management, attention to detail, and the ability to deliver high-quality communications on tight timelines for a diverse audience.

At the heart of Jessie’s work is a passion for supporting small businesses and fostering strong local connections. She is especially excited to make North Plains Living a truly collaborative effort, partnering with local writers, photographers, creatives, and businesses to produce authentic, community-centered content. She believes local stories are best told by local voices—and that collaboration strengthens both the publication and the community it serves.

Through North Plains Living, Jessie brings her professional expertise together with her love for her hometown to create a magazine built on quality, intention, and community pride—one that celebrates the people, places, and businesses that make North Plains special.
