I'm glad you're here. Welcome!
I'm Drew Deurlington. AKA AD Works Design.
Yes, the 'AD' logo was originally for "Andrew Deurlington," but I'm thinking it could also work for "Adventure Designer!" Or, if we're being boring, the 'AD' could be short for "Advertising." Or...it could be all three! INCEPTION! BWAMMMMM!
I'm a graphic designer from Truckee, California up by Lake Tahoe, and arguably the biggest cross-country skiing/superhero aficionado of all time. It's debatable, I’m sure, but I make a strong case for the title.
I graduated from UC Davis in 2013 with a degree in Design and a minor in Managerial Economics, which is essentially 'Business' at Davis. This means that not only do I have a toolbox of design skills—including expertise with Adobe CS, front-end web development, and good ol' pencil and paper—but that I also handle spreadsheets and complex economic formulas with ease.
Since graduating, I've been refining my skills with a number of diverse and exciting projects, ranging from work with startups and non-profits to professional sports teams. If you're looking for help, I'm your huckleberry.

You want to hire me for a project? A full-time position? Just curious about my project rates? You want to grab coffee and discuss the finer points of why Papyrus is worse than Comic Sans? Maybe dinner and a movie?
If your answer is "Yes" to any of those questions (and, let's be honest with ourselves...your answers should be "Yes"), then this is the place to be.
I'm a big proponent of good ol' fashioned regular email, so feel free to send one my way. I'm at deurlington@gmail.com.
You can also find me on LinkedIn. Just make sure that if you add me to Contacts, you send me a message beyond, "I'd like to add you to my contacts." If I see that, I'll probably be all, "Stranger Danger!" and won't add you. And that would be a shame. Thanks.
I look forward to hearing from you.
