JM Design

Hi, I’m Josh.

I'm a multidisciplinary designer and art director based in Washington, DC specializing in a wide array of visual and graphic design skills. Throughout my design career, I’ve worked on and led teams of 10+ designers doing work for hundreds of clients. Some of those clients have included: Axios, Boeing, Exelon, UBS, Blue Cross Blue Shield, LIV Golf, and more.

I love working on cool projects, and have a penchant for clever branding and beautiful visual systems. If you’re interested in working together - let’s talk!

About the Site

I built this portfolio, as many people with portfolios do, to showcase my work. It had been quite a while since I’d last updated it and it was badly in need of a facelift. I wanted something that had a sense of space and movement, and felt almost like a physical, “real life” portfolio with full-screen, page-like elements that move and shift around. You’ll also notice the site is fully navigable with both arrow keys and scrolling.

Even now I’m not entirely sure I’m happy with it, and I’m sure I’ll continue to tinker on it into oblivion. But hey, that’s art.
