My name is Aidan VanDyke, and I am an illustrator and graphic designer based in Oregon. I work on the premise of “serious fun.” I enjoy making audiences chuckle, whether that is through a character’s actions in my illustrations or a spirited arrangement of information in my graphic design work, but there has to be an underlying system holding the design together. My simplified approach reduces the visual noise in design to directly communicate with audiences. My multidisciplinary skill set allows me to handle a variety of projects in the lively way only I can.
