Rhyolite Design is David Pohlmeier.

I’m a graphic designer residing in Elgin, Illinois, a suburb of Chicago.

Specializing in print, web and architectural design, Rhyolite Design aims to provide design services tailor-made for your image and vision. Over the past ten years I have had the pleasure of working with some of the best clients and have built a diverse portfolio. My goal is to create long lasting relationships with clients by giving them my undivided attention, communicating clearly and by going above and beyond the expectations. I hold myself to a very high level of service and take pride in the work that I do.

Where did the name and logo come from?

My grandfather was an artist. As a child, for my birthday one year, he gave me a painting of a Grumman F4F Wildcat, the very plane pictured in the logo. The painting hangs above my desk to this very day.

As for the name, rhyolite is a type of rock found all over North America. While hiking in Canada at Lake Superior Provincial Park, I first came across it and was amazed at how it differed so much from the rest. You’d be hiking within the same general landscape and then all the sudden around the bend would be a purplish beach that made you feel as if you might be on another planet. (Not to mention, Rhyolite Design sounds much cooler than Pohlmeier Design.) You might even say that Rhyolite Design provides “rock solid” design services.
