Aaron Tilford Creative

After an intensive internship at Bergman Associates, focusing on fashion and beauty, I moved to the position of senior designer at The Oliphant Press, focusing on non-profits as well as some corporate institutions, working directly with its director Ron Gordon. Since my salaried employment there, I have continued to do work for The Oliphant Press on a freelance basis, in addition to independently providing creative services to other clients. I have recently relocated to Los Angeles and am looking for a position that utilizes my skills and experience. I have a clean, sophisticated sense of design that balances classic with modern; extensive experience with text-heavy projects (I am skilled in typography); and prepress experience. I am highly organized, detail-oriented, and have both strong written and verbal communication skills. As the majority of my work has been with small studios or freelance, I am used to managing all projects from conception through completion. With a background in art and a passion for writing, I founded Spunk, an independent literary art journal, in 2003. After years of working with accomplished editors at prestigious institutions and many notable writers in editing my journal, I have become a skilled editor. After years of writing for Spunk as well as other publications and sites, I have become a skilled writer. In 2017 I was selected as a Lambda Literary Emerging Writer.
