Cassinyxdesign@gmail.com


  My name’s Cassi, and I moved to Susanville in 2010, though I’ve had a soft spot for this community since childhood visits during the holidays.

  I’ve been a graphic designer at Forest Office Equipment for 8 years, helping local businesses bring their ideas to life through creative design and signage. Former bartender, still moonlighting here and there. Once a bartender, always a bartender, just with better sleep now!

  Outside of work, I play guitar, paint and sketch. You can also find me at Anytime or Pole Bunny Fitness. I’m constantly looking for new ways to be creative, different, and fit. I’m passionate about personal growth, and supporting people’s dreams, because the world needs more dreamers.

  As a Chamber Board member, I’d love to make a positive impact on the community through creative channels, and help small businesses thrive with less worry. We are well overdue for an overhaul to mix things up, but the Chamber can only do so much. With help from the community and its business owners, we can make this place a destination on the map.
