About
Hello, I'm Javen Coleman, a graphic designer specializing in branding and visual identity. I help businesses bring their stories to life through bold, strategic design. With a focus on clean aesthetics and thoughtful typography, I create solutions that are both visually striking and highly functional. learned a Bachelor of Arts in Graphic Design from Southeastern Louisiana University, graduating in Spring 2016.
Since then, I've worked across a range of industries and creative projects, balancing clean, strategic branding with a more expressive personal style. While I maintain a clean, intentional approach in branding and identity work, my personal and freelance projects often explore a more grunge-inspired contemporary style--what I describe as neo-grunge or edgy minimalism. Through the use of textured layers, bold type, muted color palettes, and cut-out imagery, I aim push boundaries and infuse raw personality into my work.
