I'm actively looking for a full-time or contract design role with a team that values craft, clear communication, and work that actually means something.

What working with me looks like
-
I've spent years inside the production process, not just handing off files and hoping for the best. I understand prepress, color separation, and what it takes to get from screen to substrate without errors. I catch discrepancies before they become expensive problems, and I do it without ego or "gotcha" energy. Just a quiet heads-up that saves the project.
-
Every choice I make, the type, the color, the composition, is grounded in what the work is trying to say and who it needs to reach. I can articulate why I made a decision, back it up with real reasoning, and adjust without taking it personally when the direction shifts. Qualified, but humble. Always curious. Always willing to learn.
-
I get along with just about anyone, and I mean that in the best way. I communicate clearly, flag problems early, and make sure the people I work with always know where things stand. Technically sharp and emotionally intelligent are words someone used to describe me, and that combination is something I work hard to earn every day.
“Josiah is diplomatic in a way you don’t see often in creative environments. Technically sharp, emotionally intelligent, and genuinely invested in the work being right. If you get the chance to work with him, take it.”
Your story, spoken through design.
Let's tell it together.
Whether you're building a team, launching a brand, or just need someone who will actually care about the work, I'd love to hear what you're working on. No pressure, just a conversation.
