Erin Lynch \ Partner \ Designer \
Erin Lynch is a versatile, multidisciplinary graphic designer and educator. He is a consumate design enthusiast-driven by a voracious appetite for learning. He spends much of his time devouring everything he can regarding art and design in an effort to reach some type of design utopia, which frankly none us thinks really exists apart from in his mind.
Erin has worked on print, web and industrial design projects individually or as part of a team for local, regional and international clients. A shortlist of these clients would include Fox Television, The University of California, Washington State University, Nike, Portland Public Schools, Oregon Tourism Board, Gearbox Studios, Wendy's, Oil Can Henry's, The Kavli Foundation, Anthro Cart and many others. His design work has been featured around the world on numerous websites, in print publications and television.
He spends much of his time as one half of the plush and illustration duo, Dolls for friends. Together, the two of them have vowed to personally take over the world and mandate that the public at large reconnect with their childhood belief in monsters, aliens and the love of science fiction.
In 2005, Erin joined the magnanimous A List Apart magazine, where he acts as the publication's production manager. He has also had the privilege of writing for several other design publications including the profession-defining pages of Netdiver.
Before entering the design arena, Erin spent several years as a music and film journalist where he dutifully scratched out his opinionated views on the good (and not so good) works of others. He was an editor and contributor during the final years of the Schwann Opus and Artist classical music catalogs and has produced articles and conducted interviews for a variety of other film and music publications including Videohound and The Trouserpress Guide to Rock.
Erin also holds an adjunct faculty position at the Art Institute of Portland where he teaches classes on web design.
