Hello! My name is Kelton Herrick. I’m from West Linn, Oregon, a suburb outside of Portland. In 2024, I graduated from the University of Oregon’s School of Journalism and Communication with a degree in advertising and a minor in sports business. I currently live in Austin, Texas, and work as an Offensive Security Business Development Representative at Fortra Cybersecurity.

I began my college career at Cal Poly San Luis Obispo studying kinesiology, but later switched to advertising after realizing I preferred a more creative path. I’ve always been passionate about sports and remain open to working in the sports world. It wasn’t until after college that I discovered my passion for design and apparel manufacturing through an internship at a basketball apparel company called Shirts & Skins. That experience helped me realize I want to pursue a career in the apparel industry, where creativity and product design are the main focus. When I’m not working, I enjoy playing basketball, snowboarding, or doing anything outside with friends.
