Profile
About
Juan Colon is a Philadelphia–based graphic designer.
With a focus on visual systems and concept–driven branding, his work emphasizes clarity, atmosphere, and intention. Outside of graphic design, he has a deep appreciation for film and visual culture, particularly how narrative and mood influence the way things are seen and remembered – spending too much time on Letterboxd. These interests often inform his approach to treatments, typography, and research. Detail–oriented and collaborative, Juan values strong concepts, cultural context, and considered design.
