“Working with Erin is nothing short of a positive experience. He helped us with a visual identity system based on a brief and nailed it.” — Jennifer Fortin of Silver Fern Creative

Build a brand that means business.

I craft clear, lasting brand identities—logos, color, type—all sharp and purposeful. No fluff, just strategy and design that reveals your true self and gets you noticed. Whether starting fresh or refining, I ensure you show up confident and consistent everywhere it counts.

Strategic Identity

I help you get clear on what you stand for, who you're speaking to, and how to show up in the market. Mission, values, audience, and positioning—dialed in and documented, so every move you make is consistent and intentional

Brand Standards

Clear, practical guidelines that keep your brand consistent—across every platform, every time. From logos to tone of voice, everything’s documented so your team and collaborators stay aligned. Make sure no one ever uses the wrong logo again.

Identity Design

A unique, memorable logo and cohesive visual elements (colors, typography, imagery) that define your brand’s aesthetic and make it instantly recognizable.

Branded Materials

I design custom assets—business cards, social graphics, packaging, web elements—that reinforce your identity and keep your brand looking sharp wherever it shows up. From business cards to stickers, your brand will look damn good everywhere.

    "Erin is hands-down the best graphic designer I’ve ever worked with! Not only is he a great artist and designer, but he’s professional, organized, responsive, timely, collaborative, fair with his fees, and just incredibly easy and enjoyable to work with. The onboarding process was smooth and thorough and he designed my logo in multiple formats and created a full brand guide with font styles, banners, brochures, and business cards.

    Erin also has this awesome ability to balance your vision with his design skills, bringing everything to life while keeping the project focused and moving forward. Honestly, Erin is so good that the whole experience raised my own professional standards as a chiropractor. I can’t say enough good things about him.

    If you’re looking for a great web and graphic designer for your business, look no further!"
