A BRAND IS more than Just A COOL LOGO

Hey, I’m Justin!

A graphic designer who solves problems by hand (and trackpad) for businesses that are BOLD & INTENTIONAL in preserving their values.

Since I was a kid, I have been obsessed with movies, music, and art through the vehicle of storytelling. There’s a reason why storytelling is considered to be the oldest form of communication ↠ Because people can connect with a message that resonates with their values.

For years I worked as a freelancer, designing one-off logos for smaller businesses. The problem I kept facing was that the work I was doing felt uncollaborative and unintentional with a business’s goals.

I realized a new logo (even if it looks cool) is only worth so much if the customers aren’t considered in the design process.

Now, as the owner of Jargo Design…

I offer strategy-based design to ensure that businesses I work with stand out to the customers they want to attract.

Here’s what I value

  • Our stories help us see clearly why we do what we do as business owners.

    Respecting and emulating design from the past to communicate an intentional message in the present goes far beyond what trends can do.

  • While I am a professional who is hired for specialized services, my approach is to work with my clients by asking questions that only they know the answers to.

    I provide hypotheses with a creative direction that must be approved in order to move forward with the design.

  • Keeping things simple provides clear communication.

    Not just with information able to be understood, but feeling at ease knowing that you're able to understand the information and how to act moving forward.

  • True quality in my work is when design communicates an intentional message that can resonate with someone.

    Upholding design principles, quality checking, and creativity all are supporting pillars in this message.
