Most B2B brands are built for a moment, not a motion. Your team creates constantly — and inconsistently. Different colors in every deck. A logo that looks different in every department. Guidelines nobody follows because nobody built the system. I build the infrastructure that fixes that: identity, governance, and templates your team can run without calling me every time.
The Brand Fit Call is the gate — a 30-minute conversation to confirm this is the right engagement before either of us commits. Most clients start with the Brand Audit.

Emily Crandall
VP of Marketing, Promera
Josh has an extreme art of taking the strategy & vision and implementing it throughout every piece we worked on. Working in a high-paced and demanding industry, Josh always went above and beyond in adapting to the requests that came in and delivering in a timely manner.
Susy DeBrigard
JLL, Product manager
Josh is one of those rare all-in-one types - design, copywriting, marketing, analytics - he does it all. I was fortunate enough to work with him while at The Business Journals. Josh made it easy for me. I requested marketing materials (emails, white papers, infographics), and he delivered above what I expected. He gave options, explained his reasoning, and gave really great suggestions and feedback. I highly recommend him!
Katie Kissel
The Business Journal, Marketing Manager
I have worked with Josh to create several large-scale projects for our company, including a 40-page yearbook highlighting company successes by department, and he has delivered really impressive results each time. He also provides great insight on the design process for clients to help guide and lead his projects.

Here is what they are saying about me
Josh has an extreme art of taking the strategy and vision and implementing it throughout every piece we worked on. Working in a high-paced and demanding industry, Josh always went above and beyond.
"Josh is one of those rare all-in-one types — design, copywriting, marketing, analytics. He gave options, explained his reasoning, and delivered above what I expected. I highly recommend him."
"Josh worked closely with me to rebrand every piece of collateral across the organization — often under very tight deadlines. He consistently delivered high-quality work while feeling like a real extension of our team. I would highly recommend him to any organization looking for creativity, reliability, and true partnership."
We used JA Design when we first got started — it was one of the best investments we've made. Josh took the time to learn our business, our mission, and the persona we needed to communicate. Everything was 100% custom. We serve large organizations and our materials are of higher quality than theirs.
"We've worked with Josh on two projects — a brand redesign and a new brand creation. He listens, provides guidance and expertise, and creates beautiful work. Do yourself a favor and decide to work with him."
Josh is a strong designer with the ability to remain brand-compliant while designing something creative, unique, and visually compelling. He also provides great insight to help guide and lead his projects. I highly recommend him for any project."
