Hi, I'm Kyle Johnson!

I am a Visual Designer who turns ideas into tangible products. I have industry experience in apparel, marketing, production and development as well as a background in fine art and do-it-yourself culture.

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.

Between Time Place & Purpose
A booklet set in Univers, intended to aid a commemorative LACMA exhibit of the architect IM Pei. The end result followed rounds of sketching as well as a moodboard for reference. I have since moved away from using moodboard.
