Who Is Aaron Winters?

I am an award-winning and internationally-published creative professional, educator and artist with nearly 15 years experience providing quality custom design services for small- to medium-sized companies.

My background merges art, design, marketing and the humanities, and ranges from art direction, concepts and logos, to brochures and magazine design, custom online marketing campaigns and websites, specialty packaging, posters and more.

Always looking for that next, best project ― whether it be a freelance gig or an in-house position, I look forward to working with you for positive change and success in 2012 and beyond.

Take the opportunity to make things better, simply by making better things.

Art Direction & Graphic Design Services

  • Identity & Branding: Let’s work towards creating a versatile, solid logo and overall identity package that reflects what makes you special and stands for the best you have to offer.
  • Packaging: Perception of a product makes all the difference. $20 shoes become $80 ‘streetwear’ in the right package, and your product is no different. Having made stuff DIY or on the cheap for years, I know a lot of alternative solutions and printing processes that can really make your ThingTM stand out.
  • Publication Design: You may not know why, but you know it when you see it. From meticulous body text to ornate hand-drawn headlines, type makes all the difference when setting your piece apart from the rest.
  • Online Strategy, Web & Design Services: My aim is to bring the high expectations of what’s possible in print design, online. Unique and creative design that builds on your brand and serves your specific objectives.

What Other People Have To Say About Me

Aaron is an amazingly talented designer and artist, and a passionate and dedicated educator and design evangelist. He is a true multi-disciplinarian — equally skilled in art, illustration, print graphic design and web development. If you ever have the opportunity, two words: hire him. Don Button, Professor, Sacramento City College
Aaron is a creative wellspring who is always surprising me with the breadth of his imagination and ingenuity. One of the things that is so important to me is his ability to accomodate his clients so well while simultaneously improving their project ten times better than they could have imagined. He has a fantastic combination of meticulousness and nurturing that he devotes to design and an unbridled energy to make it the best he can. Chad Stockdale, founder, Weird Forest Records
Aaron was always meticulous and maintained a high quality of work throughout his three years at New Times, a weekly newspaper in San Luis Obispo, California. Very artistic, great sense of humor, completely reliable, hard-working and ethical. Aaron was one of my favorite people at New Times. Terre Dunivant, principal, Gaiagraphics
Aaron’s amazing abilities rank him among the most valuable of design talents in this or any area. Scott Olling, principal, scottolling.com
