Operations & Event Manager

If grace, glitter, and a well-organized spreadsheet became a person, it would be Cherie Swain. A dancer at heart and a speech pathologist by training, she has a rare talent for making anyone feel instantly at ease. Cherie moves through the world with the calm confidence of someone who can hand-write the perfect card and whip up an oscar-worthy costume from the weekly fluff her dog Chester sheds. She loves fine wine and good food, and absolutely does not trust magicians (I mean… they’re lying to us). At Gosh Darn Delightful, Cherie keeps the gears turning and the vibes dance-party-worthy, ensuring every event feels like a fun and harmonious, well-crafted machine.

Client Relations and Communications Lead

If imagination ever needed a dedicated hype person, it would be Lucy Brush. She’s a writer, dancer, scuba diver, and baker who moves through the world collecting tiny sparks of beauty: quiet moments, small wonders, and any excuse to commit to a bit with full dramatic flair. She’s also convinced raccoons stare at her a little too long, which, so far, no one has been able to disprove. With her creativity, warmth, and fondness for all things bubbly (drinks and moods), Lucy brings a genuine magic to events that makes every client feel seen and welcomed.

Head of Media and Advertising

If Portland had a resident woodland sprite who somehow learned video editing, it would be Nicholas Petrich. He enters scenes with a booming laugh, two dogs trotting behind him like loyal sidekicks, and holding a pot of pasta that somehow appears bottomless. Born among the rain and cherry blossoms, Nicholas now channels his dramatic fear of death via toe-stubbing into marketing brilliance for Gosh Darn Delightful. He sees the world in little cinematic moments and spends his days trying to bottle the joy of his friends–Lucy, Cherie, and the rest–so he can scatter it across Portland like confetti.
