Bio

Originally from The Bahamas, Jontue Hollingsworth now makes a living in the United States as an independent designer focused on creating a clear message through bold expression. It is his mission to be brave, thoughtful, open-minded and ultimately, make something good. Jontue primarily works as a brand designer, comfortable lending his design expertise across traditional media and interactive platforms. A firm believer in using his powers for good, he routinely uses art and design to explore ways to support important causes and ideas. As a traditionally trained designer, he relies on process work and collaboration to build an authentic experience. He has a Bachelor of Arts degree in Visual Communication and Design from the University of Nebraska and has hands-on experience as a designer, art director, and creative director at multiple agencies and design studios. In over an 18-year career, his work has received numerous statewide awards and has been recognized nationally.

Approach

I approach every project with extreme curiosity, tenacity, and optimism. My initial goal is to gain a thorough understanding of the message and its personality. I begin by asking questions and actively listening. The process is crafted to respect the authenticity of the message. Good design doesn’t get in the way. My approach is more like a craftsman, creating something for a particular purpose or function. We’re both active participants in creating something meaningful. So, we’re going to explore, learn a lot along the way and more than likely, find a solution that’s authentic, emotive, and unexpected.
