Joshua Johnson

Phoenix, Az

I’m a 24 year old graphic designer with 6+ years of experience working alongside several major marketing firms. Through Catapult Marketing I have worked on projects in conjunction with such renowned agencies as Chiat Day, BBDO and Rivet Global. I have a passion for design of all kinds and am permanently cursed with a freelancer’s desire to meet deadlines at all costs. Recently, I have developed brand identities for a number of Central Life Sciences (a pet products company) brands including Adams, Bio-Spot and Comfort Zone. A portfolio showcasing some of my recent work can be found at www.coroflot.com/joshuajohnson.
