Meet the Founder

dave abrahamsen - please evolve - chief experience officer

dave abrahamsen

founder + chief experience officer

A multidisciplinary designer and strategist with over 20 years of experience across branding, marketing, design, and interactive media. Comfortable generating big-picture ideas or executing hands-on design and development, I blend creativity, technical skill, and systems thinking to create user-centered, impactful work. I’ve led remote and on-site teams and delivered solutions for brands like Wilson Sporting Goods, Allstate, Comcast, and nearly every major Chicago sports team, while also supporting grassroots and global efforts for environmental and cultural regeneration.

 

When I’m not in front of my computer, I like spending time with my wife and two kids watching movies, playing games, making music, painting, taking photos, and exploring nature.
