ION DESIGN | UNIQUE GRAPHIC DESIGN SOLUTIONS SINCE 1994.

My name is Michael Jordan. I am an art director. I live a few miles south of Burlington,Vermont, and have the pleasure of working with clients both large and small… here, there and everywhere. Sometimes I work alone, sometimes I’m part of a team; I like the variety. [For better or worse,] I wear many design hats.

: :  High-level brand/identity designer with experience and vision, check.
: :  Art director with the chops to efficiently manage a team from concept to production, check.
: :  Print designer with a healthy balance of love and respect for great typography, check.
: :  Web designer with just enough technical know how to know who to partner with to develop and lauch your project, check.
: :  Photoshop wizard with some old-school airbrush skills to make the unbelievable believable, check.
: :  Creative writer who can nail concepts and taglines while admitting technical grammar is my Achilles heel, check.
: :  Business owner who treats every project and budget as if it were my own, check.

Put it all together and it’s a 10-gallon hat [which technically holds 3 quarts.] I take pride in my solid work ethic; it’s in my DNA… Pennsylvania farmers and coal miners.

Outside of work I’m a volunteer firefighter and EMT. [If I unexpectedly leave a conversation, I promise to call you back as soon as the fire is out.] My wife drives a vintage 1969 ice cream truck seriously. She’s also a freelance photographer/interior designer/stylist/up-cycler /antique picker [I'm convinced the last two are excuses for the "stuff" collecting in our barn... But she tolerates my ever expanding collection of guitars and motorcycles.] We have two little boys who still think we’re pretty cool, so we’re going to enjoy that as long as it lasts. Thanks for coming by. I hope my work speaks for itself. Enjoy.
