Our Story
Aurora Creative began in 2010 with a simple idea: to blend artistic vision with strategic design to help businesses in Seattle shine. Founded by Eleanor Vance and Samuel Rios, two passionate designers with a shared love for the Pacific Northwest’s unique aesthetic, Aurora Creative started as a small, home-based studio in the Fremont neighborhood. Eleanor, with her background in fine arts and Samuel, with his expertise in web development, envisioned a design agency that would prioritize collaboration, creativity, and client satisfaction.
In its early years, Aurora Creative focused on providing branding and web design services to local startups and small businesses. Word of mouth quickly spread about their exceptional work and dedication to their clients, leading to a steady stream of projects. From designing logos for artisan coffee shops in Ballard to creating websites for tech startups in South Lake Union, Aurora Creative quickly established a reputation for delivering high-quality design solutions that exceeded expectations. Over the years, the studio expanded its services to include digital marketing, content creation, and user experience (UX) design, adapting to the ever-changing needs of the digital landscape.
Today, Aurora Creative is a thriving design studio located in a beautifully renovated warehouse in the heart of Fremont. Our team of talented designers, developers, and marketers is committed to carrying on Eleanor and Samuel’s original vision. We continue to draw inspiration from Seattle’s vibrant culture, the stunning natural beauty of the Pacific Northwest, and the innovative spirit of the businesses we serve. Our journey has been one of continuous growth, learning, and unwavering dedication to helping our clients succeed through the power of design.
