Erika Fryklepak is the founder & designer of Erika Was Here Design.
I love to create beautiful things that reflect the important work that small businesses do.
Entrepreneurs, particularly those in the healing trades, gravitate toward me for their graphic design needs. My design style has been referred to as organic, and infused with clarity and symbolism that holds a relatable sense of depth. My communication style is genuine, direct, fun, and organized.
I solve problems for my clients and create designs that reflect the important work they are doing. It's a creative collaboration with practical applications. Identifying what a business does, what makes it unique, and articulating the distinct values of the people who make up the organization are some of the aspects of my process.
If you choose to hire me, it will be me you work with, from initial conversations to finished materials in hand. That means when I create a design for you, it will be created from a place of understanding, relating, and will be true to you and your business.
My Values As a Business Owner
Connection
I believe relationship is the foundation of everything that makes up life!
Connecting with you on a genuine level is key in my work of offering designs which help you step into the limelight of your industry and get your business the exposure it deserves.
Growth
I love the chance to push my edges as a designer, which absolutely every project does.
But more than that, I am enthusiastic about supporting your growth as a person, whether you are stepping into this work for the first time, or allowing your existing business to expand.
Hard Work
Its just part of who I am. When I take on a project, I am committed, and I’m here for you.
You will enjoy having the work product you hoped for, in the time you requested, and have solid communication with me all along the way.
Passion
I’m passionate about the work I do, and I trust that you are too.
It is what motivates us to put the time in, the training in, and the extra sweat — because when there is passion there, it often doesn’t even feel like work, it is a pleasure!
Individuality
Each person on this gorgeous Earth is unique, and I respect that deeply.
I consider it an important part of my job to identify what makes YOU and your work unique, because your clients want to know.
Balance
This is a struggle for many entrepreneurs, heck for many adults in modern culture.
My work / life balance is part of what supports my creative juice. It is the time I take to step away from my desk that allows me to create with spark.
