About Me
Welcome to Jernigan Designs
I’m a passionate Graphic Designer with a unique perspective shaped by 23 years of disciplined service in the U.S. Navy and a strong commitment to visual storytelling. With formal training, certifications, and hands-on experience, I take a strategic, detail-driven approach to design.
From branding and digital content to print and user-focused communication, I create impactful visuals that connect and communicate. Always learning and evolving, I combine creativity with purpose to bring ideas to life—one thoughtful design at a time.
Ideation never stops
Pulling from stories to shape the next idea.
Photography & Photoshop
I use Photoshop to craft bold, imaginative visuals with precision and intent. One standout project blended surrealism and rationalism, where I combined photos of my Ford F350 and my dog, Frankie, to create a dynamic composition—featuring Frankie dramatically bursting through the truck door to escape a dreaded ride. Projects like this showcase my ability to merge technical skill with playful, story-driven creativity.
Passion Meets Design
When I’m not designing, you’ll probably find me riding my Can-Am Spyder—soaking up the open road and finding inspiration in motion. That passion fueled the creation of a custom logo that captures the spirit of adventure and individuality I feel every time I gear up. For me, design isn’t just a skill—it’s a reflection of the things I love.
Bringing It All Together
For me, creativity thrives at the intersection of photography, drawing, design, and imagination. Each element plays a role in shaping a visual story—from capturing moments to sketching concepts and crafting polished designs. But it all starts with communication. Collaborating with clients to understand their vision is where the magic begins. That connection fuels the creative process and allows me to turn inspiration into purposeful, impactful work. It’s more than just design—it’s passion, storytelling, and problem-solving, all rolled into one.
