Blue Lotus is a design firm based in Santa Cruz, Ca with creative direction by Adon Newman. Our clients are located in the Bay Area and across the United States.
Our work spans across industries with clients ranging from health and education to retail businesses and not-for-profit organizations. We take pride in working with businesses and individuals with positive missions and ambitious goals.
Successful design is not just about aesthetics, it's about communication. It is our business to make sure your design captures an audience and speaks your message clearly. This is how we help to build your brand, reach your audience and help maintain your presence.
We love to help you uncover the unique qualities that set your company apart. All of our projects are designed from the ground up, we stray away from pre-fabricated templates or clip art. We design very closely with our clients, keeping them involved in the process, critiquing and refining until the final product clearly communicates your vision.
I am so delighted to share my passion for art making with you and your business. I believe that the face of a business should be as unique and beautiful as the people involved in it.
I have been creating art my entire life and it has become interwoven into so many aspects of my existence. I received my BFA in Art & Technology from the Ohio State University. I am a certified audio engineer and have studied video editing, motion graphics, and CG animation. I also studied industrial design at the Columbus College of Art & Design. (Please also feel free to visit my personal artwork website at adonnewman.com to see what I do in my free time)
I believe in conscious and sustainable living and I follow a very healthy lifestyle. I am an avid student of yoga and I bring the principals of balance, kindness, and compassion to work with me every day.
I look forward to working with you,
Adon Newman
