Jeffrey Affeldt, Principal
Jeffrey Affeldt holds degrees in commercial art & graphic design, with a background in photography, retail management & customer service, and creative problem-solving. As longtime Art Director and senior designer for Vision Fitness, a spin-off division of Trek Bikes, he executed and oversaw all consumer print work, retailer-education materials, and product user-interface design. He also provided product brand-identity graphics, conducted product color studies & industrial-design consultation.
He learned valuable lessons about brand strategy, detailed and short-deadline execution, forging strong relationships with like-minded associates and quality vendors, and working within tight budgets.
During his decade there, Jeffrey helped the fledgling company sustain an average annual sales growth of 40 percent, and had a hand in developing consumer products that earned 25 Best Buy awards.
All while operating on a very thin dime.
