The team
Smartz Graphics is Aaron, Milly and a set of Davis representatives who keep the in-person side running while we work between Davis and Braga, Portugal. Every project gets the same hands, the same speed and the same open book.

Davis | Braga
Aaron is back in Davis several times a year to build projects in person. The rest of the year, Smartz Graphics representatives in Davis handle the in-person logistics: pickups and deliveries, print checks, event setups and a face at the meeting when one is needed.
Where I am right now
My wife Milly and I are spending a few years abroad, based in Braga, Portugal, learning about the world and bettering ourselves. I come back to Davis several times a year to build projects in person, and the rest of the year the studio runs the way it always has: fast, on Zoom, and in constant touch. Every visit home makes one thing clearer. With new perspective, Davis is an even more amazing city than we could have known, and we plan to come back and build it up.
Book a working consult and we start on your project the same day: a single flyer, a full campaign, an AI system or a community-wide event.
