About /

I’m Aman Anderson, originally from Orlando, Florida. I have been working in design from one corner of the nation to the other for nearly five years, taking on challenging projects involving branding, publications and web design. I have been privileged to work with amazing professionals who opened my eyes to a better understanding of the power of digital media to create pieces that are beautiful, timeless and understandable.

Over the last three years I developed a passion for the world of publications. That passion began while I served as primary graphic designer at Last Generation Magazine. While a graphic designer at MCM Design Studio (Guildhouse) in Walla Walla, Wash., my work was featured in award-winning magazines such as Gleaner, Interpreter Magazine, and Disciples World.

My experiences gave me a close-up look at the struggles of the print industry as it deals with delivery and cost constraints that stress many small publishers, which led me to Pulchry Branding + Design in Orlando, Fla., and a growing desire to channel my energies into to the web and user interface design. While at Pulchry, I led teams developing brands and web designs for corporate clients, independent organizations and non-profit publishers.

I am currently a graphic designer at the Environmental Working Group in Washington, DC, where I work with a brilliant team of researchers, scientists designers and developers. I was lead designer on updates of several of EWG’s well-known, high-traffic databases including the 2011 SkinDeep cosmetics and sunscreen databases, as well as on high-impact reports and web sites including EWG’s “Meat Eaters Guide to Climate Change and Health”, “Losing Ground.”, and FoodNews.org

I’m passionate about my work. I take the design and user experience seriously; the details and process mean a great deal to me. There are so many things that constrain and complicate people’s lives because intimidating design, so I always start the creative process by thinking about the impact a design will have on an individual. Understanding people determines how inclusive a design will be and the ultimate success of the design process.
