Annette Orban has been creating innovative designs for over 20 years.     She began her career in Los Angeles as a graphic designer and art director. During her time in L.A., Annette worked for many of the top advertising agencies in California, including Ogilvy & Mather, JWT and BBDO.     Annette created movie posters and title designs for many notable films, including Thelma & Louise, Steel Magnolias and A Few Good Men. Her Hollywood work was entered and shown at the prestigious Hollywood Reporter Key Art Awards. Annette also won a Los Angeles Art Director's Club award.     In 1993 Annette moved to Portland, Oregon to explore new challenges in retail design and product marketing. In Portland

she did print collateral work and signage for Nike and Columbia Sportswear, including a 24-foot mural for NikeTown's NY store.     In Portland she formed her own business which she operated indepen- dently for several years, until she was invited to merge her client base in partnership with East Bank Communications, Inc. There, Annette served as Creative Director. During her two-year tenure, the agency's annual billings nearly doubled, reaching over $1.2 million despite an industry-wide recession in Oregon.     The agency's clients included KinderCare, with over 1,200 childcare centers nationwide; and Northwest Hardwoods.     In 2002, Annette left East Bank to create Orban Ranch, where great ideas roam free.
