I’m Erin Deo, a graphic designer and a recent BFA graduate from Iowa State University. I’m based out of Ankeny, Iowa. I’m a creative at heart and love working with people. I have a tame and easy-going personality with a flame of ambition that keeps me excited about design.

I love exploring new coffee shops, reading, spending time with family and friends, and exploring new areas of design. I love traditional graphic design, but also have a special place in my heart for paper arts, jewelry making, and crafting.

I believe strong design starts with understanding the problem before exploring visual solutions. Whether developing a brand identity, working in print, or building a digital personality, I enjoy researching, experimenting, and refining ideas until every detail serves a purpose.

I love working with packaging, print design, stationary, branding, menus and more, but am always interested in expanding. I love a good design challenge and would love to learn more!
