Erick's Bio

Erick Theilen Designer Artist Innovator

Erick Theilen, Principal and founder, began to shape his artistic personality at a very young age while growing up in his grandparents' art studio where his Mother and Grandmother were both instructors and his Grandfather was a custom framer. Throughout his education and business career, Erick continued to sharpen his skills with a course of study in Writing, Photography, and Interactive Media Design.

Erick pursued a business career right out of college. However, that career path never satisfied his need to release the creative energy brewing inside. His first introduction to designing web sites occurred in 1999 while working for a dot-com in San Francisco. After working for two different companies in the role of sales and marketing, including a role as the Marketing and Promotions Manager for a major sports nutrition company, Erick started his first successful businesses in 2002.

His experiences at these other companies gave him a well rounded understanding of the requirements a company has for visual representations of their products. Erick was able to take this skill set and working on a very slim to non-existing budget designed all marketing materials for his new business. From brochures, print advertising art through web site design and production. Since that time he has expanded his design work to include clients beyond his own businesses. Erick began Theilen Design in 2003 working with clients involved with his fitness business to assist them with logo designs, marketing materials and web design requirements. His favorite part of each new start-up has always been designing the company's look and feel and trying to be innovative with all the various pieces that make up the public image of the business. designing of the company’s logo, marketing materials and web sites, or even the business cards were an experience worth savoring.
