WHO WE ARE
edgimo (say "edge - m - o," rhymes with eskimo) design was founded in 2002 to offer a unique combination of creativity and business sense to entrepreneurs, educators, non-profits, and publishers. Since then we've found that our skills are useful to a much broader audience.
We are a small firm that does all its work here in Philadelphia. The primary players are:
Ben Dickinson, FounderFormally educated as a pharmacist with specialized training in publishing, and web-application development, Ben formed edgimo Company in 2002 to offer over 10 years of experience to a variety of small businesses. Over the years Ben has found that pairing his formal education, which is logic and science based, with his creative side is a perfect fit for applying web and web-related technology to business goals.
Ben is active in the Philadelphia music scene and a canine enthusiast.
Harry O'Brien, Creative DirectorHarry was formally educated as visual designer with an emphasis on designing for print media. After graduating from college, Harry's talents were quickly recognized and he was hired as edgimo's Creative Director. Harry has enjoyed ongoing relationships with clientele who appreciate his ability to create durable, versatile brands. He has the unique ability to create strong visual communications that deliver messages in simple, thoughtful ways. Harry also collaborates closely with edgimo's creative team to develop the most effective and creative approach to solving a client's business challenges.
Every great artist in history has had a bad addiction of some sort, Harry's is the hamburger hoagie. Harry takes pride in keeping his life creative and random, which is why you will often see him doing reckless activities such as jumping out of planes. He has also been known to say the phrase "That's what she said..." too often. Thankfully, that was recently outed in favor of googling pictures of laughing horses (see photo above).
