About

I earned my BFA from the prestigious Art Center College of Design in 1974 and immediately was hired by my former professor and Creative Director of A&M Records, Roland Young, to join their creative services department. It was a magical and unique time to be a young designer creating album covers and rock ‘n roll promotions in the fast-paced and crazy world of entertainment.  

In 1976, at the age of 24, I opened my own design business and have never looked back. In the early years of my career, I designed over 150 album covers and countless music industry promotions and campaigns for legendary artists such as Peter Frampton, Tom Petty, Joe Cocker, Cat Stevens, George Harrison, Steve Miller, Tina Turner, Cat Stevens, Joni Mitchell, Dave Mason, Carly Simon, and REO Speedwagon to name just a few. In addition, I am grateful to have been inducted in the Album Cover Hall of Fame for my design work in the music industry. 

For over four decades, as Founder and Creative Director of Evenson Design Group (EDG), I led my design team to create brand identities along with advertising, packaging, environmental signage, corporate collateral, exhibit design and web and interactive media for a myriad of businesses, both large and small, domestic and international. I also served as the President of AIGA/LA (The Professional Association for Design) and Co-Chaired the AIGA (Re)designAwards, an international design competition acknowledging the best creative thinking for sustainability and social responsibility. In addition to being an internationally known designer winning numerous awards and being published in countless books and periodicals, I am honored to have three design pieces selected for the Permanent Collection of the Library of Congress. 

Since 2014, I have been transitioning from designer to fine artist, experimenting with paint and collage, combining my passion for vintage iconography, humor and the outrageous with an innate sense and love of design into fine art.
