Who I Am

I’m Jarrett Johnston. I’m a brand & UI designer living in Texas and working internationally. I have spent over a decade bringing brands to life through smart, meaningful design.

When I am not working I spend time with my beautiful wife and 2 daughters hitting the local music scene, junking in an antique shop, trying a new restaurant, or screen printing in my garage. I am a faithful Christian, which has inspired much of the purpose behind my work.

Here’s a picture of me trying to be cool:


My Track Record

I’ve had the privilege to work with a wide range of businesses like Interstate Batteries, Phillips 66, and TGIFridays, as well as leaders in the ministry space like Passion Conferences, Thrive Conferences, IF:Gathering, and Agape International. I’ve worked for numerous in-house departments, small branding studios, and big agencies over the years, and I’ve been awarded over 30 times by organizations like Dallas Society of Visual Communications and American Advertising Federation.

What I Charge

I am (intentionally) not the cheapest option nor the most expensive. I work mostly on a flat fee basis for projects, so I’ll quote you a single project price instead of an hourly rate. Most branding and website projects showcased on this site took around 6—8 weeks to complete, and vary in cost depending on scope of work, complexity, deadline and other influences.
