My name is Tom Avenaut. I'm a music lover, foodie, visual thinker, team-player, problem solver, fantasy football manager, coffee drinker, daydreamer, hard worker, cannabis enthusiast, and most importantly, a designer. Design is endlessly fascinating to me because it’s like a puzzle. Finding the right combination of elements that fit together— to “solve” the puzzle—to convey the message successfully, clearly and beautifully—is the best kind of satisfaction. After 17+ years of experience in the design world, you can say I’ve gotten pretty good at puzzles! I have expert-level proficiency in the holy trinity of design: Photoshop, Illustrator, and InDesign. My extensive background as a designer has taught me as much about leveling up a company’s visibility and stand-out power through good branding as it has taught me about grit, agility, and flexibility—yet I continue to adapt, learn, and evolve with each project that I conquer. Ultimately, I take pride in my eye for design and the level of detail I put into my thought process and execution for each project I work on.
