A designer.
A connector.
A Davis person.

I am Aaron Wedra, founder of Smartz Graphics: a designer, community builder and creative partner for brands, businesses and organizations that want more than a pretty logo. With over twenty years in graphic design, marketing and event planning, I help clients in Davis and beyond launch bold ideas, build momentum and create real impact in their communities.

I have worked with over 1,000 businesses and organizations, on everything from logos, flyers and websites to full campaigns and community events. What sets the work apart is not just the design. It is the way I connect the dots. I know how to get your project in front of the right people, whether that is the media, a local influencer, a printer who can make your vision real or a partner who can help you grow. I have helped businesses land sponsors, get featured in the news and raise hundreds of thousands of dollars for nonprofits. My network is your secret weapon, and my designs do not just look good. They get you seen.

I believe in fast, high-quality work, delivered with transparency and collaboration. I do not hold your files hostage and I do not keep secrets. I will teach your team what I know, help you build the systems to keep growing, and set you up to take control of your brand long after the project is done.

If you are looking for a designer who will make your project the next big thing, someone who is passionate, creative and deeply invested in the Davis community, I am the partner who makes it happen. Let us launch something bold together.

I save my clients thousands on software, apps and plugins, because I know where to get what you need for free or close to it. I did not grow up where money grows on trees, and more than ten years in the struggling newspaper industry taught me to do more with less. I will be stingy with your budget too.
