Erin Jean O’Regan is a co-founder and producer of The Stumptown Improv Festival. In addition to years of experience as an improviser, she’s also known to dazzle audiences with her comedic sketches and other stage performances. Have you seen her on stage at The Siren Theater hosting Speechless, a monthly competitive improv powerpoint show? Or maybe you recognize her energy and tone from her Thorns FC blog in The Mercury's BlogTown? It’s also possible you recall her curls bouncing around one of the six after-school arts programs that she manages as her “day job”, Assistant Director at Art4Life. She's a busy lady, but she always makes time for making fun!

Designer, Daughter, Sister, Karaoke Enthusiast, Empath, Friend. She's a Jamaican bred Canadian born Southern raised creative who loves meeting new people and exploring the world around her through art, food, and dance. When she's not fawning over gallery openings or brainstorming her webcomic, she's working in advertising connecting creatives of color in the industry and working on opportunities to support younger talent through mentorship. Though her past life held promising jobs in hospitality and insurance, she thankfully was guided to her current career as an Art Director in Portland with community assistance, a little courage, and a f*ck ton of talent. Sometimes she wonders if she should've stuck to the clinical PhD track in psychology, but knows her best therapy advice is served neat over stiff whiskey and burgers.
