Emily Stutzman
Chief Executive Officer
Emily Stutzman is the Co-Owner and CEO of Happylucky, a creative agency HQ'd in Portland, Oregon. With a deep commitment to building strong community—both internally and with clients—Emily leads with the conviction that collaboration, equity, and shared purpose are essential to creating meaningful, culture-shifting work.
Emily joined Happylucky over a decade ago and co-purchased the agency from its founder in 2021. She came up through experiential marketing and design/fabrication, bringing a hands-on, systems-level understanding of how ideas move from concept to execution. Over the course of her career, Emily has developed and led impactful work for global brands including adidas, Stanley, Tillamook, The State of Washington, Reebok, lululemon, Savage X Fenty, Sorel, Columbia, and Chewy.
Prior to her work in marketing and advertising, Emily worked in Washington, D.C. for a U.S. Senator and began her career as a journalist for two newspapers. In 2023, she took the TEDxPortland stage to discuss how technology has fundamentally reshaped how we meet, interact, and form relationships.
A Pacific Northwest native, Emily leads Happylucky with passion and vision, working daily to create a new kind of agency environment—one that shifts traditional power dynamics, centers equity, and fosters truly collaborative partnerships. Outside of work, she enjoys time on her family’s farm, paddleboarding the Alsea River near her A-frame cabin, and hosting dinner parties.
