Welcome to AJMJ Design, your award-winning boutique marketing partner in Waunakee, WI (just outside Madison)!
I specialize in transforming businesses through the power of visual communication and a strategic digital presence. Since 2009, I’ve helped over 100 businesses across various industries achieve success with:
Whether you’re a startup launching your brand or an established business seeking a refresh, AJMJ Design is here to guide you. I take the time to understand your goals and develop a customized strategy to unlock your brand’s full potential.
In 2023, Amy Johnson of AJMJ Design was acknowledged in Forbes magazine for her record-breaking fundraising efforts (benefiting the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society) using strategic design and social media marketing.
I`m excited to share a recent logo project I did for @elliottpaintinginc Elliott Painting Inc., a Madison-based painting company. While they initially sought a more traditional logo, I couldn`t resist adding a fun, colorful option to the handful of samples I presented. The vibrant design ended up being their favorite! 🎨
Creating logos is one of my favorite aspects of design. It`s always rewarding when a client falls in love with a concept. The process of blending creativity with the client`s vision to craft a unique and impactful logo is truly fulfilling.
For Elliot Painting, the colorful option added a playful twist while still capturing the clean, crisp essence of this company`s work. It`s a testament to the power of creativity and taking a bold approach that resonates with clients and brings their vision to life. I am happy to have contributed to Elliot Painting`s brand identity and look forward to more exciting projects ahead!

HELLO! 🩷 It`s been a hot minute since I`ve had the chance to post, but for those new here, welcome!
I`m Amy Johnson, the owner of AJMJ Design, a boutique creative agency based in Waunakee, WI. I specialize in graphic design, website design, and social media marketing/management. 💻
AJMJ Design was established in 2009 when I decided to leave my corporate job and pursue my dream of owning a design company. Since then, I have remained driven by my passion for helping small businesses shine and have poured my heart and soul into countless projects, big or small.
For me, design isn`t just a job; it`s an integral part of who I am. I recently stumbled upon a quote that resonates deeply: “Life is art. Art is life. I never separate it.” This sentiment encapsulates my approach perfectly—I infuse every design with a piece of myself, striving to create meaningful and impactful work.
Over the past 14 years, I`ve collaborated with over 100 companies across various industries throughout the U.S. From single-owner startups to established corporations, each project has been a unique opportunity to bring visions to life and make a difference through design.
If you are a small business looking to add some sparkle ✨ to your brand, I’d love to connect!

I will be out of the office from March 25th to March 29th, enjoying some well-deserved family time during spring break. ☀️🕶️
Spending quality time with loved ones is essential for rejuvenation and maintaining a healthy work-life balance. This break will allow me to return with renewed creativity, energy, and focus to better serve your design needs.
I appreciate your understanding and look forward to reconnecting with you after spring break!
XOXO - Amy

I had the privilege of designing these logos for two organizations I deeply respect and admire, Madison Family & Milwaukee Family. 🩷
Crafting these logos was an absolute joy—they’re vibrant, playful, and I love how they celebrate the beauty of ALL families in the Madison and Milwaukee areas. I’m incredibly proud of them.
A huge thanks to lovely @alisasleep for entrusting me in another logo project. She is truly an amazing human!

FALSE. ❌
There is no guaranteed way to secure the top spot in Google search results. Search rankings depend on numerous factors like website quality, relevance, backlinks, and user engagement.
While SEO techniques can improve your chances, it`s an ongoing effort with no guaranteed outcome. Increasing your Google ranking takes time. Even if a website is optimized to perfection, it may take 6 months to a year for Google to recognize those efforts.
My advice? Focus on quality SEO strategies and be patient.
So, next time you see an ad guaranteeing you the #1 Google search listing, be wary. It`s likely a scam.

𝐈 𝐡𝐚𝐯𝐞 𝐥𝐢𝐯𝐞𝐝 𝐢𝐧 𝐖𝐢𝐬𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐬𝐢𝐧 𝐚𝐥𝐥 𝐦𝐲 𝐥𝐢𝐟𝐞, but it wasn’t until I moved to the Madison area in 2013 that I truly began to understand the magic of the University of Wisconsin Badgers. ❤️
Not just the athletes but the fans, alumni, students, and the loyal community they are so proud to be a part of.
Above all else, Badgers hold so much pride in their traditions and values deeply rooted in the university`s history and culture.
These traditions and values have shaped the Wisconsin Badgers` identity creating an unmatched sense of pride and unity within the Badger community.
The symbol representing this pride is worn proudly throughout Wisconsin - the University of Wisconsin Badgers logo.
The “W” logo we know, and love has evolved since its creation in 1913.
𝟏𝟗𝟏𝟑-𝟏𝟗𝟐𝟗: The “W” monogram transforms into a “B” when turned to the side.
𝟏𝟗𝟑𝟎-𝟏𝟗𝟑𝟓: O.G. Bucky
𝟏𝟗𝟑𝟔-𝟏𝟗𝟒𝟕: Bucky gets a more “ferocious and menacing” makeover, and the “W” is back!
𝟏𝟗𝟒𝟖-𝟏𝟗𝟓𝟔: Artist Art Evans gave Bucky a more human-like appearance. The proud chest and clenched fists represent the pride of the UW Badgers.
𝟏𝟗𝟓𝟕-𝟏𝟗𝟔𝟏: Simplified block “W” made its appearance.
𝟏𝟗𝟔𝟐-𝟏𝟗𝟔𝟗: Circle added to possibly represent the unending unity of UW Badgers.
𝟏𝟗𝟕𝟎-𝟏𝟗𝟗𝟏: The block logo is replaced with a more collegiate font.
𝟏𝟗𝟗𝟏-𝟐𝟎𝟏𝟕: Modernized “W” design. A darker color palette emphasizes the volume of the letter.
𝟐𝟎𝟏𝟕-𝐭𝐨𝐝𝐚𝐲: Just a liiittle bit wider.
Today, the Wisconsin Badgers logo continues to inspire pride and loyalty among fans, alumni, students, the Madison area, and throughout all of Wisconsin, symbolizing the university`s athletic achievements and the spirit of the Badger community.
Let me know which you like the best in the comments! And feel free to share the Wisconsin love by tagging your favorite Badger! ❤️

𝐌𝐲 𝐡𝐮𝐬𝐛𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐈 𝐡𝐚𝐝 𝐚 𝐥𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐥𝐲 𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠 at last weekend’s extraordinary event dedicated to raising awareness and funds for a cause close to our hearts. ❤︎
I can’t believe it has been a year since I completed my campaign and was awarded the Madison Visionary of the Year title. I will always be so proud of this once-in-a-lifetime accomplishment. I think my Dad would be proud of it, too.
With my whole heart, I believe these campaigns really do make a difference. I believe one day, LLS will fund the research team that finally leads us to a world free of blood cancer. I will never stop believing that there is a cure somewhere out there.

🌺 𝐀𝐥𝐨𝐡𝐚! My family and I were lucky enough to spend seven days in this magnificent place recently, and I could not be more obsessed with the colors, the vibe, and the explosions of natural beauty.
The soft hues of a Hawaiian sunrise are the epitome of tranquility and serenity.
May this Hawaii sunrise-inspired color palette serve as a glimpse of the captivating paradise of this magical place. 🌺
Whether you`re dreaming of an island getaway or want to infuse your designs with tropical vibes, these colors will transport you to the magical shores of the Aloha State.
Embrace the spirit of Hawaii, and let these colors inspire your next creative project! 🎨🌴✨

1. The goal of the logo was to inspire movement & determination.
2. The swoosh represents the wings of the Greek Goddess Nike.
3. The founder of Nike paid a student named Carolyn Davidson $35 for the design in 1971.
The Nike logo is hands down one of the most iconic logos of all time.
It shows you don’t have to break the bank for a great logo!

I had so much fun creating the branding and packaging for Lifebeans Coffee Roastery for their bourbon barrel-aged coffee collaboration with Coyle Woodworks.
I am happy to report from Lifebeans Coffee Roastery that the first batch sold out within days “𝑏𝑎𝑠𝑒𝑑 𝑠𝑜𝑙𝑒𝑦 𝑜𝑛 𝑡ℎ𝑒 𝑙𝑜𝑜𝑘 𝑜𝑓 𝑡ℎ𝑒 𝑏𝑎𝑔."
Ahhh! 🤍 LOVE hearing this!
The coffee is DELISH, so I am confident they will have repeat business.
I provided three different looks for them to choose from.
Which one was your favorite?

I am originally from the charming small town of Turtle Lake, located in northwest Wisconsin. I now call Waunakee home with my husband, Derek, our daughter, Emma, and our little yorkie, Reese Rainbow, who is head of security here at AJMJ Design.
We moved to Madison in 2013, drawn to its vibrant energy. But Waunakee, with its small-town charm and easy access to everything Madison offers, stole our hearts in 2016.
When I’m not designing, spending quality time with my family is my happy place. We love escaping up north to the lake, hiking, and traveling. Some of my favorite weekends are spent cheering on my little dancer’s dazzling dance competition performances.
Beyond family, I’m an avid reader, a master organizer (some might say party planner extraordinaire!), and a CrossFit enthusiast who believes in a healthy balance of functional fitness and good food.
I hope this glimpse into my life reveals the passion and energy I pour into everything I do, including my design work at AJMJ Design. Because AJMJ Design isn’t just a company, it’s an extension of me – and I put a piece of my heart into every project I create.
