Brion Eriksen
Brion is principal and founder of Elexicon. Previously, Brion received a bachelor's
degree in technical communication from Ferris State University; then worked as a
writer for Technical Marketing, Inc.; as a writer/designer for X-Rite, Incorporated;
and a writer, designer, marketing manager and webmaster for Encoda Systems.
As the Internet became pervasive as a communication medium in the mid-90's, Brion
discovered that his blended background of marketing communications and creative
design experience plus technical communications and information architecture expertise
was ideally suited for this new discipline called "web design." A light bulb was
lit, and Brion wasted no time diving headlong into the fray that was the dot-com
boom. In 1999, that leap of faith was given the name "Elexicon."
Eight years later, Elexicon is still standing, stronger than ever. Brion attributes
the firm's success to a number of factors, including: a wonderful, supportive family;
hard work; a talented, supportive team; hard work; terrific, supportive clients;
hard work; a relentless, purist commitment to his interactive design principles
(clients wouldn't have it any other way); and, finally, hard work.
Brion enjoys spending every waking moment away from this hard work with his family:
wife Paula and sons Ethan and Dawson. He's also an ESPN junkie and an Apple/iPod/iTunes
freak, and would be an excellent golfer if the object of the game did not include
putting.
