HELLO!

I’m Jooahn! I am a full-time Children’s Book Designer at Simon & Schuster working for the imprints Little Simon and Simon Spotlight. Also, available as a Freelance Designer + Muralist + Lettering Artist + Illustrator. Originally from Philadelphia but currently based in Brooklyn, NY.

Known for a blue palette, encouraging phrases, creative lettering, a playful style of work and being extremely ambitious.

Aside from fine tuning my skills, my interests include eating tacos + doughnuts, traveling, hiking, running, concerts and going to Brooklyn Nets games. Currently training for the 2024 NYC Marathon.

LET’S WORK TOGETHER!

Have a request? I would love to create a specialized creative solution just for you. Contact me via jooahn.co@gmail.com
