THE PORTFOLIO OF

Jeanne Salmon

SALMON DESIGN CO.

GRAPHIC DESIGNER EXTRAORDINAIRE

Making Cool Shit since 1986

I am Jeanne Salmon, an award winning graphic designer and crafty night owl.

A world traveler and lover of the outdoors, I always seem to be crafting or making something, no matter where I am. My two older rescue dogs are my favorite studio collaborators, and my biggest cheerleaders. I am deeply inspired by vintage and antique design, and have a growing collection of advertising ephemera. I enjoy hand making my own photo props for graphic design projects, and finding effective, collaborative, and creative solutions when problem solving.

My mantra is simple: love life, travel far.

Handcrafted Goods

I have always loved crafting and hand making home decor, bespoke gifts, and custom boxes; it has fueled my philosophy of, “why buy something when I can make it myself?” The evolution of my crafty hobbies ultimately led to my career in graphic design, and has become very useful and enjoyable while making photo props used in my projects. It’s so fun!

A mix of personal projects and paid work, the following gallery represents the crafty arm of my business and my brain. Crafting is my love language, and heavily influences how I design.

Meet Jeanne Salmon

I didn’t find Graphic Design until later in life, but I’m so glad to be here! I’ve had many jobs over the years that have taken me to many incredible places. From environmental and experiential non-profit management to hospitality and tourism, these experiences shape my world view and my design style.

I spent years cramming creativity into roles that didn’t require it, and am glad I finally followed my heart and passions into the creative industry. Better late than never, eh?

I am a proud Milwaukee Area Technical College and Americorps alumna, and a hardworking Midwesterner. To learn more about my professional journey, please see my resume. Thank you!
