In addition to vocalizing what you or your organization stands for, you want your brand to speak to the level that you believe you can reach. If what you want is up there, then we're not going to build branding materials down here.

He has founded and co-founded multiple web start-ups and advocates that everything is marketing, and that a business must be both authentic and creative to thrive.

Dan Lipe
creative engineer
Having discovered that there was actually a profession for people who draw logos, Dan earned himself a degree from the University of Tennessee graphic design program, where he also discovered a love for web and multimedia disciplines. During his career, he has developed identity, printed collateral and interactive experiences for a wide variety of companies. The most recent leg of his journey has been in the world of user experience, focusing attention to the emotional and logical responses of people using interactive products. He believes in making tasks easy to accomplish and loves web analytics. "In the end, it's all about making stuff that works and is easy to use!" In his spare time, Dan thrives in the outdoors and designs his own furniture.
Jeff Newman
sales maven
Jeff worked for a decade in sales at various consumer electronics outlets in Southern California before joining Sony Electronics in 1986, where he worked with major chain retailers. He was recognized as a sales leader, winning top achievement awards for the entire country, and was responsible for helping the launch of Sony's most innovative products, including its Handycam® camcorders and Wega® televisions. At Sony, Jeff was known as an "out of the box" thinker who created promotional events involving the NBA and NFL, and he has followed the same path with Angled End Athletics, where he helps players and teams create amazing brands. He is born a sports nut, so working with the pros has been a dream come true.
Angled End Identities is looking for designers. We pay competitive rates for graphic design work that we judge to be of the same caliber as what you see in our portfolio. If you have strong Creative Suite chops and a portfolio that demonstrates visual talent and technical proficiency, we would love to work with you.
All work is done off-site. Projects are offered to our contractors on the basis of ability and seniority, and communication directly with clients varies from project to project. Educational background is not especially relevant (read: the proof is in your work!). Please email or call us if you would like to establish a working relationship with AEI.
Please do NOT apply without an online portfolio.
