Who are we?

Hi, I'm Scotty Anderson and Aeon Design is essentially my studio practice but it would not be what it is  without my co-conspirers, chiefly my wife Katie who consistently offers me objective critique, a fresh point of view, helps with copy writing, proofing. Then there's Phil, Ali and Colin at Back9Design who are great to collaborate with, they bring a diverse range of skills that compliment our own.  Their Invercargill based business has expanded expidentially in the last few years and has provided us plenty of web development work.  

How did Aeon Design
come about?

I had worked for 10 years in sales - retail and business to business, and had really enjoyed meeting new people, creating relationships, but most of all helping others - being of service.  While working in telecommunications I found I could be of great use to business clients who had very specific needs. Creating specialised solutions became a great source of enjoyment.

In 2006 I decided on a career change, I would study Graphics and Multimedia at Nelson Marlborough Institute of Technology. That went so well that I furthered my education in Invercargill and graduated with a Bachelors Degree in Visual Media Arts, specialising in both Design and Photography. Cross-credits from my earlier study at NMIT allowed me time to complete both Design and Photography strands of the Degree at SIT.

Throughout my time as student I worked as a barman and found extra work as a freelance designer and photographer, building my experience, confidence and a body of work under the banner Aeon Design.

After graduating in 2010 I moved back to my (sunnier) home town of Nelson, registered Aeon Design.biz as a company and got to work.  I've gained a loyal clientele from many industries and I love doing what I do. I feel very lucky to have found a vocation as rewarding, creative and as helpful as this.

Our Philosophy 

The focus for Aeon Design is providing a complete range of design services to small businesses and independent workers. What motivates me is the satisfaction of knowing I've delivered a unique service that has really helped, and it is with small businesses that I can be of the largest help.  I prefer to work with clients who run their own business because it's their passion that has led them to do what they're doing - much the same as the reasons I'm providing creative services.  I recognise the need for good professional support when running a business, be that accounting, legal, marketing or design, and I feel a responsibility to my clients as I would an employer to provide an excellent service.  As your go-to media designer I'm invested in your success and conscious of how that reflects upon my own.
