DON JOSLIN
FOUNDER & CREATIVE DIRECTOR

Don is the creative and entrepreneurial spirit that propels our organization and our client engagements. He’s a strong project manager who aligns design and technical resources, and maintains quality standards during every phase of development. And somehow, he never loses sight of the big picture.

A fine artist by training, Don blends innate design sensibility, street smarts and technical acumen into an award-winning creative vision. Since founding J3design in 1998, he’s driven dozens of full-scale web and print communications projects for business-to-business and consumer companies.

Prior to J3design, Don helped create and launch State of the Arts, a web-based gallery of independent artists from around the world. Specifically, he developed the original brand concept, identity system and site design.

Don has also served on the creative staff of established organizations – including Bernard Hodes Advertising, a leading recruitment advertising agency, and Blue Ribbon Supply, a hotel paper goods distributor.

Before pursuing corporate opportunities, Don used his eye for visual composition to design album covers and promotional postcards for recording artists such as Bunny Brunnell and Steve Smith. Previously, he mastered digital illustration and imagery techniques while operating as a freelance sports magazine photographer, photo lab retouching specialist and art store consultant.
