Women supporting women, the collective rise
At The Swell Co-Lab, we’re redefining what it means to support women in business. We believe collaboration replaces competition and that success is a shared journey, not a limited resource. Traci and Jana have built a powerhouse collective dedicated to elevating women’s unique strengths and championing their visions through expert consulting in strategic marketing, brand initiatives, leadership, and tactical game plans that bring out the boss in all of us. We know that when one of us rises, we all do. Our goal is simple yet bold: to carve out spaces where women can thrive without boundaries, inspire without restraint, and succeed without compromise. There’s room for all of us here—let’s make the most of it, together.

QUIRKY THINKERS
The Swell Co-Lab’s collective experience in Portland agencies, inside brands, and participation in events such as Design Week PDX has solidified strong and lasting relationships with talent ranging from producers to illustrators, motion designers to data analysts. It’s like six degrees of Kevin Bacon but it’s only one degree of separation. You need trusted and vetted talent and we either have it or we have immediate access to it.
Our team has celebrated triumphs, braved the Willamette River on paddleboards, enjoyed countless happy hours, and dog-sat each other’s pups. We have been in the trenches, suffered failures, and picked each other up. It’s not often you get the opportunity to choose your people and it’s one we don’t take for granted.
