HELLO! I'M ELLIOTT JONES
Just a Few Core Values
I’m a graphic designer based in Maryland, specializing in print and digital design and branding strategy. I earned my bachelor’s in science in graphic design from Full Sail University, and a master’s in art and theology from Wesley Theological Seminary. I have over six years of experience in graphic design, working freelance, and on a team. My mission is to create a tangible design with a unique experience.
When I’m not crafting brand identities or designing marketing materials, you can find me creating on the dance floor as a modern dance choreographer. If you’re looking for a passionate strategic creator to visually tell your brand’s story or communicate how we keep up and stay ahead!
