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.
As a graphic designer, I believe in the power of visual storytelling. Steve Jobs once said, “Design is not just what it looks like and feels like. Design is how it works.” This statement encapsulates the essence of graphic design beautifully – it`s not just about creating something visually appealing; it`s about crafting a message and ensuring it resonates with the audience. ✨
My role as a graphic designer goes beyond mere aesthetics; it`s about understanding your brand`s essence and conveying it effectively through visuals. Whether it`s designing a logo, creating marketing materials, or developing a cohesive brand identity, I strive to bring your vision to life in a way that captivates and engages your target audience.
Overall, my goal as a graphic designer is to not only create visually stunning designs but also to effectively communicate your brand`s message and enhance its overall presence in the market. Let`s collaborate and bring your vision to life through the art of graphic design.

Roger Williams of TransAmerica proudly sporting his new logo! 🐦🔥🐂
When Roger approached me with the challenge of creating a logo that seamlessly incorporated the bull of the market and a phoenix rising out of the flames, I was immediately intrigued and excited by the creative challenge.
Designing a logo that effectively combines these two powerful symbols required thoughtful planning and artistic execution. The bull symbolizes strength, growth, and prosperity in the financial world, while the phoenix represents resilience, renewal, and overcoming challenges.
I was able to craft a logo that not only met Roger`s expectations but exceeded them. Seeing Roger`s enthusiasm and satisfaction with the final design was incredibly rewarding. Moments like these remind me why I love what I do – the opportunity to turn a client`s vision into a tangible and impactful visual identity.
I am honored to have been a part of Roger`s journey in establishing his brand identity. I look forward to seeing his continued success as he proudly showcases his new logo. Cheers to collaboration, creativity, and meaningful design!

I had a blast creating this “rad” 90s beach-inspired logo for the Accountaholics, a recreation volleyball team comprised of CLA accountants! 🏐😎
Looking closely, you’ll see some subtle math symbols incorporated into the design to rep their accounting pride!
These super soft tri-blend tees are perfect for crushing the competition (or, you know, crunching numbers). Thanks, Accountaholics, for letting me be part of the team spirit!

One of the perks of posting my work online is revisiting my design vault! Today`s flashback features a logo I created for "Meet Me In Child`s Pose," a company specializing in training instructors to lead high-energy, fun yoga classes for kids.
For those who aren`t yogis, "child`s pose" is a common resting position that promotes relaxation and restoration.
Can you spot the subtle nod to the pose in the logo? Swipe to see what I mean!
The goal of this project was to create a logo that felt peaceful, playful, and memorable. Mission accomplished? You tell me!

As a designer embedded in the CrossFit community, I can`t help but get excited about the annual CrossFit Open. It`s a time filled with camaraderie, challenges, and a whole lot of fun. For the past four years, I`ve had the privilege of designing The CrossFit Open logo for @fortifyfc , and I must say, this year`s t-shirt design might be my favorite one yet. 💪🏻
Anyone who knows me knows that Fortify Fitness Collective and its community have a huge part of my heart. Seeing so many of my designs worn proudly by the amazing people at Fortify warms my heart, especially my #1 guy, @djohn3222 (also clearly a fan of Fortify). 🤣
Designing for FFC allows me to combine my passion for design with my love for this incredible community. It`s a feeling like no other to see something I`ve created being embraced and celebrated by people I care about. Here`s to another CrossFit Open and many more years of designing for Fortify Fitness Collective!

This vacation is an opportunity for me to recharge, gain new inspiration, and celebrate another year of life. I`m looking forward to returning refreshed and energized, ready to bring new creativity and passion to our design projects.
Thank you for your understanding and continued support! Mahalo! 🌺

I am happy to share the wonderful experience of redesigning the website for a company owned by a lovely little family that I absolutely adore, Classic Cabinetry. Classic Cabinetry wanted its website to reflect the warmth and homey vibes that define its brand. I was excited to bring that vision to life. 💻
Working closely with the team at Classic Cabinetry was an absolute pleasure. Their dedication to excellence and commitment to providing exceptional products and services shone through in every interaction. It`s always a joy to collaborate with clients who are as passionate about their business as I am about design.
The website redesign aimed to showcase Classic Cabinetry`s offerings, including cabinetry, flooring, countertops, doors, and more, in a way that would resonate with visitors and give them a true sense of the brand`s quality and craftsmanship. I`m proud of the end result, and I believe it truly captures the essence of Classic Cabinetry`s commitment to excellence.
If you`re in the market for top-notch interior solutions and exceptional customer care, I highly recommend Classic Cabinetry. They go above and beyond to ensure their clients are taken care of, and it was an honor to be part of their journey to enhance their online presence. @classiccabinetrywi

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 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! ❤️

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.
