creative • cursed with ideas

Before returning home to Reno, Nevada, Johnna explored many aspects of creativity, including studying music and the recording arts to post-production sound editing on major feature films in Hollywood.
After decades of people asking Johnna to help out with their logo, website, poster, or creative project, she is finally leaning in to the world of graphic design and went back to school to bolster her skillset and love for visual communication.
Cursed with too many ideas, Johnna grounds herself by getting outdoors, torturing herself with long runs and crazy open water swims, and from time to time you'll hear her playing the drums. As a fifth-generation Reno, Nevadan, Johnna has a lot of history in the Reno/Tahoe area and loves being a part of its incredibly creative community.
