After graduating from Iowa State University with a Fine Arts Degree, I moved to Chicago where I landed a job with a commercial production company. Since they didn't need an oil painter on staff, I learned the art of video editing, graphic design, web development and a host of other skills.
Having an active role in a variety of areas within the company, I was able to create my own position as Media Manager. Six years later, I found myself working all day in the office and then all night on my freelance web design projects -- that's when I decided to give full-time freelancing a shot.
So, here I am now, working from my home office, doing what I love. My portfolio illustrates a wide range of clients and I enjoy the challenge of creating design concepts to meet their diverse needs. I hope you'll take some time to explore my site and contact me to discuss your next project.
"Aarik is a very talented designer and creates websites that are beautiful to look at and elegant to use. In our business, we cater to clients with very high levels of taste and sophistication and Aarik's designs meet or exceed these high expectations. However, he does need to work a bit on his spelling."
"Aarik Evanson has worked on a number of our sites and is officially our go to guy. Aarik is very creative and insightful. He listens to what we say and he executes both design and programming flawlessly. He is delightfully laid back but don't let that fool you, Aarik has overdelivered time and time again."
"We had the privilege of knowing Aarik in his early days, the formative years, he never once failed to surprise. Every design, every site, blew our minds. he's one of those people that make me look smarter and more talented than I really am. We are amongst his biggest fans, always will be. Now he costs a bit more, but he's worth every penny and then some. I knew the day would come when everyone else would find out about Aarik. I guess that day's here. Dang."
"Aarik has a unique and playful aesthetic vision and a strong sense of what stands out in the web space. I would recommend him to anyone looking for a website that engages viewers while conveying the tone of your company in a fresh way."
