About Us

Jonah is a creative studio started by two friends with a shared vision. We wanted to use design and storytelling to shift culture.

Howdy!
We’re real people!

We are Shawn and Cam, the co-founders of Jonah! We met in community college in 2021, joked about starting a design agency, and did nothing about it for four years. In April 2025, we finally made it happen. Here’s a bit about us:

  • Co-Founder & Creative Director

    I’m an Art Direction grad of Denver Ad School with a background in photography and graphic design. I’m obsessed with purpose-first creativity. If what I’m doing has nothing to say, it’s not worth sharing.

  • Co-Founder & Design Director

    I’m a SCAD-trained designer with a passion for intentional design that creates real emotional connections. Specializing in both print and digital, I strive to bring bold ideas to life with clarity, strategy, and purpose.

Our DNA

  • We love what you’re doing.

    We work with brands we love and we love brands with passion. We don’t just produce work for you, we become active participants in your mission. You, are a collaborator and we actively partner with you to realize your vision.

    Practically that means:

    • Jam Sessions: Very free-flow meetings where we talk about your goals and vision for the project before designing anything. We’ll build mood boards, pitch new concepts, and ask lots of questions.

    • Post-meeting recaps: Rundowns after each meeting, clear outline of next steps.

  • We are cultivators.

    You aren’t passing off your brand to us, but giving us permission to reshape it. We’re not here to ‘put our touch’ on something just to make us look good. We’re here to listen to you and your needs–then make it happen.

    Practically that means:

    • You matter: We believe we have a unique perspective on the world and hope you will trust us. But as the main representative of your brand, you are the expert on your needs.

    • But we’ll challenge you: Challenge breeds creativity and sometimes the best idea is uncovered in the debate. We’ll always pitch new directions for you, contrasting ideas, anything that we believe will help your brand grow.

    • Clients as Creatives: We believe creativity is innately human, that all people are called to create. That means you are collaborating with us, involved in the process of creating something new.

  • We are messengers of truth.

    The industry is crowded, chaotic, and dishonest. We believe that our work only matters if it tells the truth. Product or brand storytelling is empty if your audience stands to gain nothing from it.

    Our world craves something new, something honest. That’s what we can provide.

    Practically that means:

    • We ask questions: We seek to get to the root of your mission. Not what you sell or what you do, but why you do it. Your motivation is what truly matters to your audience.

    • Transparent design process: You will see sketches, moodboards, initial drafts. We show you the seams of our work so that you are always in the know—as transparent as possible.

  • We are intentional workers.

    More is not more. Working harder for the sake of it is surefire way to burn out and produce weaker art. We value time away from our projects as a means to refuel and work more efficiently for you.

    Practically that means:

    • Sabbath Rest: Our weekends are no-contact—set aside for prayer and rest. Sundays specifically. This allows us to return fully restored and able to give our best work to you.

    • We are picky: We won’t take on more work than we can handle. That means turning down other projects so that we can maintain complete focus on our current clients.
