A logo and a brand guide can't keep a growing company consistent. A brand system can. We build them for commercial real estate teams that pitch every week and for financial institutions turning two brands into one, across Charlotte, the Carolinas and the Southeast.

Featured projects

Why spend less time marketing it?

Seventeen years across commercial real estate, financial services and the organizations in between. These are the people we've built alongside, in their own words.
"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."
