Tori Houwman

Tori came up as a generalist. Early in her career she worked for a company focused on serving non-profits — filling the holes in their funding and resources — and taught herself whatever the work demanded: marketing, finance, design, even event planning.

That range is what makes her a sharp project manager. Today Tori is one of Blend’s lead project managers, keeping client projects organized, on schedule, and moving. And while “many hats” she once wore have narrowed into one core skill, the breadth and variety of clients and projects she leads keeps the spirit of “do whatever you can” alive in how she reads a project and spots what it needs.

Outside work, Tori is usually planning her next adventure. Inside work, we’re usually just saying hello to her dog, Blend’s unofficial house puppy Otis.
