Adam Johnson is currently a Designer working at BYU Brand & Creative.
Originally from near Syracuse, NY, I began my career as a book cover designer in NYC. I enjoy exploring dusty libraries, throwing dance parties, and thrifting. My work has been featured in Fully Booked: Ink on Paper (Gestalten), New Modernist Type (Thames & Hudson), Print 2012 Regional Design annual, AIGA's 50 covers, and online by The New Yorker, Dwell magazine, FormFiftyFive, Faceout Books, and DesignWorkLife. I live in Utah with my wife (1) and children (4). (¯\_(ツ)_/¯)
I'm open to freelance work, please don’t hesitate to drop me a line.
