ABOUT

02

Denver-based art director & graphic designer serving brands big and small.

Hello, my name is Jon Dufau (/due-foe/) and I’m a designer and art director with over 15 years of experience. My love for visual storytelling started with childhood dreams of being a Disney animator. Growing up I continued to hone my artistic skills and in high school I discovered Adobe Illustrator and graphic design—I was hooked. Design became my creative outlet, and I've been shaping brands ever since.

After a decade of working in Southern California—both in-house and on the agency side—I traded beaches for mountains in 2020 and relocated to Colorado where I now run my independent design practice. With a strategic mindset and a sharp eye for the little details that make a big difference, I collaborate with ambitious brands to create work that's both visually compelling and built to last.

These days, I live in the greater Denver metro area with my wife and three kids, balancing design, family life, and the occasional hike. Whether it’s refining a brand identity or designing a new website, my goal is always the same—to craft thoughtful, effective design solutions that make an impact.
