Hi, I'm Kyle Johnson!

I am an experienced, empathetic designer who loves to learn, collaborate and make cool things.

Mockup March
In March of 2022 I participated in a sprint challenge with a community of designers from around the world. Each week we were assigned a different mockup and each day we were tasked with ideating and posting a concept.

A collection of flyers I've designed over several years. These compositions are shaped from rounds of rapid comping, iteration and client feedback.

"Yuzu" Packaging and Branding
A package design as well as preliminary branding, for a fictional seltzer company, targeting a hip, younger feminine audience(YUZU). I additionally adapted a process which included a more collage-based moodboard after initial ideation.

The Body Shop Mock Rebrand
A tentative rebrand of The Body Shop inspired by the brand's beginnings in Berkeley. Referencing mid-century design tropes and striving to find a balance between classic and modern.

LIFEAID | Apparel Design
I enjoyed working on apparel the most over the course of my time at LIFEAID. The majority of the products on this page were made with instruction from Slack messages or phone calls with the head of apparel, Edlina Melehan. I got to have a lot of creative freedom and made pieces with the intention of pivoting away from activewear to more of a lifestyle brand. The "Beast" shirt was made as part of a leadgen giveaway, with a target audience of the crossfit community.
