Our Company Name and Culture

When Shelby was considering starting a marketing agency in Bend, she was on maternity leave, rocking her newborn baby on her front porch. And lining the path from her porch to the street was golden yarrow.

An ancient wildflower renowned for its medicinal properties, as well as its positive energy, Yarrow is resilient and will thrive in most any condition.

Shelby thought that perhaps incorporating yarrow on her professional path could bring positive change and wellbeing to all those who interact with Yarrow Creative.
