Aharmon Design Group is a multi-disciplinary design firm based out of Jackson Hole, Wyoming. Founded by Anthony Harmon in 2007, the business grew quickly into a fully established, award winning studio. We have since been privileged to work with clients from around the world, large and small, in a variety of media.
Each year has yielded tremendous growth not only in the scope of our projects, but also in our ability and enthusiasm as designers. Our passion is working closely with our clients bringing their visions to life in a clear, concise, effective manner.
In other words, we don’t just design “pretty” websites. We create engaging, content rich experiences. We go far beyond the design process to develop a strong understanding of your business, your product, target audience, end goals and the most effective and efficient ways of meeting them. Our ethos is functionality in design and the belief that less is more. Its our job to listen and to translate your ideas into successful visual media. Your success is our victory.
Developing a campaign for your business enables us to use all aspects of our design abilities around a central theme. Logos, ads, business cards, brochures and web sites are just the beginning.
These days if you own a business, you need a website, plain and simple. Ask us about the latest web technologies that will propel your business to the forefront.
Also frequently referred to as branding or logo design. A strong identity is the first absolute “must have” when developing brand recognition.
We specialize in high end photo manipulation and vector illustration, but we’re also quite capable and proud of our ability to pick up a pencil. Album artwork, magazine and newspaper ads, billboards, brochures, promotional mailers, we’ve got you covered.
Search Engine Optimization (or SEO for short). Often referred to as the “black magic” or “juju” of the internet. Never fear, there is in fact a science behind all of this. A science we understand quite well.
Copywriting is one of the least understood and unfortunately most under valued aspects in web and marketing. There is a famous saying, “Don’t bring a knife to a gun fight.” The same principle applies here.
Twitter? Tweets? Facebook? What the heck is this stuff? We’re glad you asked. We’ll catch you up to speed on the social media frenzy and why it has become a important component to the success of online business.
Can’t come to us? We’ll come to you. Our (significantly less corny) in house staff has an impeccable track record of more than 10 years successfully diagnosing and rejuvenating people’s Macs and Pcs.
We understand that each business is unique. After an initial face to face, phone, skype or email consultation in which we learn about your business and its specific needs, we work up a tailored proposal. This includes a budget, timeline, general sense of resources and technologies required, and a strategy of execution.
Once we receive the necessary assets and official ‘go ahead’, we begin the design process. This includes developing concepts, initial sketches, wire frames, color exploration, etc. This is where the overall tone and feel of the project begins to take shape.
This is where the rubber meets pavement. Once the proper solution has been pinpointed and agreed upon, we work meticulously to develop a more polished, cohesive design. We work to refine and revise until you are thoroughly satisifed with the result.
The final touches are now complete. There are only a few things left to do. First we prep the files for delivery, conclude any final billing, and cork the champagne. Its been a pleasure getting to know you and your business, and we’re already looking forward to our next project together.
FOUNDER & PRINCIPAL
Anthony is the founder and principal here at Aharmon Design Group. He is in charge of the day to day operations, oversees projects, and is our lead designer. Anthony has four years of formal design training as well as experience working in both an agency environment and as a freelance illustrator. As such, he has developed a unique understanding of the industry’s inner workings and is proud to be putting that knowledge to use with us here.
When we say we’ve hand picked our team from around the world, we mean it. Matt rounds out our roster from his cozy home office in Manchester, UK. At a ripe 20, this self taught Englishman has already established himself as a force to be reckoned with. He specializes in design for screen and print, web design with an emphasis on user interface, and clean, elegant code for both server and client-side scripting including PHP, JavaScript, HTML5 and CSS3. He is a true poster child of the .com generation.
SEARCH ENGINE OPTIMIZATION
Jeff is our in-house search specialist. If you enjoy conducting market research, analyzing keyword density, backlinking, and the never ending challenge of improving domain authority and page rank, Jeff likes you already. It might sound like gibberish to the rest of us, but apparently this stuff is important- and particularly important to Jeff.
COPYWRITING & EDITING
Not all of us are blessed with an ability to write good…excuse us, write well. Fortunately for us, Allie is one of those people. Before joining our team, she worked as a columnist for Albemarle Magazine and as Editor in Chief of the monthly regional newsletter for GEICO.com. With a Bachelor in English and Literature from the University of Virginia, Allie has honed an uncanny ability for seamlessly weaving highly ranked keywords and phrases into well written content. The result? A warm and fuzzy feeling for your target audience and google’s search results.
“ADG went above and beyond our expectations. They delivered extremely high quality branding and web assets and were a pleasure to work with from beginning to end.” John Sterling, Owner of GNU Style
“Anthony and his team are like a fine wine, they get better every year. It’s been a treat working with and getting to know their company. True professionals.”

One of the best parts about being a small, high-end design studio is our ability to interact with our clients on such a personal level. We maintain long-term relationships (and friendships) with many of them. Working at such a personal level allows us to gain an understanding and appreciation for who they are, their business and its needs, only possible within a studio of our size. Here is what some of them had to say.
