My college degree is in fine art with an emphasis in painting and drawing, but I have made a living as a graphic designer. I have had some pretty cool opportunities doing everything from branding companies to creating logos to designing for the ESPN XGames and College Football Playoffs. I believe it is essential to be multi-faceted when it comes to a designer's skill set and am always willing to expand my knowledge and experience whether it's in Photoshop, Illustrator, sketching with a pencil, or any of the other creative outlets that pique my interest. I consider myself a perfectionist and set the bar very high in all that I do. Nobody is going to have a higher expectation when it comes to the quality of the final product than I am.

I'm Wondabeka Ashenafi (Won), a graphic designer based in the United States and Co-Owner and Head of Creative at ProCreativ Solutions. I lead creative strategy and execution for Fortune 500 companies, growth-stage businesses, and enterprise teams, with a focus on high-stakes presentation design, branding, and digital experiences. We design presentations for moments that actually matter — 𝗺𝗮𝗷𝗼𝗿 𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘀, 𝗴𝗼-𝘁𝗼-𝗺𝗮𝗿𝗸𝗲𝘁 𝗹𝗮𝘂𝗻𝗰𝗵𝗲𝘀, 𝗲𝘅𝗲𝗰𝘂𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗺𝘂𝗻𝗶𝗰𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻, 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗵𝗶𝗴𝗵-𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗸𝗲𝘀 𝗰𝗹𝗶𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗽𝗿𝗲𝘀𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀. Our work is used in settings where clarity, structure, and delivery directly impact outcomes — from conference keynotes (including events like 𝗛𝗜𝗠𝗦𝗦, 𝗗𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗺𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗰𝗲, 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗺𝗮𝗷𝗼𝗿 𝗶𝗻𝗱𝘂𝘀𝘁𝗿𝘆 𝘀𝘂𝗺𝗺𝗶𝘁𝘀) to internal strategy decks and high-visibility presentations. At 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗖𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘁𝗶𝘃 𝗦𝗼𝗹𝘂𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀, we help teams turn complex ideas into clear, compelling narratives that land.

If you’re working on something important and need it done right, we’d be happy to connect.

I am an experienced and energetic artist with a passion for digital design and illustrations - I am also highly skilled in freehand sketching (bonus!). With an extensive design knowledge base and a willingness to learn and apply new techniques - I offer outstanding support and cooperation to my clients. I am continually adding new skills as needed to keep up new industry trends. Clients are highly impressed with my ability to create a verbally described design by freehand sketch, then convert it to a final digital design. Over the years I have created brand logos, characters, social media/web assets, powerpoints/presentations, infographics, video editing, t shirt designs, book covers, flyers, brochures, business cards, and much more. I also offer 1 on 1 Adobe Illustrator training via zoom. Learn the basics or advanced skills. This helpful for the non-designer, who simply wants to make small edits without the need to bother their designer (i.e. color changes, font changes, etc.). Also helpful for those looking to get into design or experienced designers looking for help with advanced training. Adobe Illustrator provides the option to create more defined/sharp graphics and the abiliy to create vector graphics (most often used for web). Rate: $150/hour This is my full-time career. I am located in central standard time zone, and I am flexible with respect to working hours.
