Jon White

Communication design for print and screens. Made in Seattle.

Think Tanks

Policy­making isn't actually supposed to be done in smoke-filled rooms. It's participatory. We’re its participants. The need for better legislation is meant to be understood by everyone. And visually articulating that is where I come alive.

Liturgical Design

My most rewarding application of communication design. Not just that it needs to accessibly represent material that’s already thousands of years old. But that it needs to maneuver through the reader’s brain, and find them in their heart.

Jon White’s work was simply phenomenal. He found a way of helping us develop and implement a vision for the blog that felt entirely genuine and expressive of our values and mission. Working with him was not only productive and efficient, it was genuinely enjoyable. I would turn to Jon again in a heartbeat.

Jon’s creative vision and expertise in graphic design and video editing were pivotal in creating our engaging marketing materials, our new logo, and our video series. He consistently delivers high-quality, professional results and is a delight to work with.

I wish I had a second business just so I could work with Jon White again! His technical chops are obvious but what most impressed me was his desire to capture the essence of our company and his ability to translate that into a design.

“Who can do this? As far as I know, no one can do it. I’ve yet to see anyone do it. And in fact, when you see another think tank that has something that looks like it, you scroll to the bottom—it’s goddamn Jon White! It’s always him.”
