Diane was born in Tennessee but has been in Portland since grade school. She's a Portland State alum with a degree in Finance of all things. She loves good wine, riding her bike to work, traveling the world and coming up with creative swag ideas. She enjoys being in the spotlight and is the public "face" of Swag Connection (because she's real good at schmoozing and actually likes to attend networking events).

Alicia Buckland
Order Coordinator

Alicia joined the Swag Team in 2008 as our first-ever Order Coordinator. Once a swag order is confirmed, Alicia springs into action and makes sure the process goes smoothly. She keeps our clients informed of order status, double-checks to make sure all the details are correct and ensures orders arrive on time.

Shown here with her darling daughters Katie & Bella, Alicia tele-commutes 3 days a week and is in the office on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Alicia's a local gal who grew up in Northwest Portland and she's the Suzy Homemaker of our staff. She loves baking (which we highly encourage, especially if it involves chocolate), scrapbooking, camping, knitting and visiting family in Idaho. She also loves sushi, a love that strangely is shared by every other member of our staff... is there something fishy going on here?
