Adding value with design through mutual growth and passion
My name is John Sheehan and I’m an independent graphic designer currently working out of Marquette, Michigan.
Why I do it
I love getting the opportunity to be a part of someone else’s story. Being able to play a small role in contributing to their growth and helping them realize their goals is something special. And in turn, they’re doing the same for me. When two people with common interests collaborate and share the same amount of passion, that’s where the value starts to shine through. The end result is work created with intent that will leave a lasting impression. Whether you’re just one person or twenty, it would be awesome to be a part of your story.
About me
That’s right, there’s a human behind this screen! Putting graphite on paper and pushing every pixel. I was born and raised in Traverse City, Michigan, where I currently live with my girlfriend and run my design business. When I’m not working you can find me snowboarding, skateboarding, hiking, disc golfing, taking photos, working on personal projects, or obsessing over vintage matchbooks. Ask me what I want to eat and I will probably say pizza. Ask me if I want dessert and I will always say yes.

“He far surpassed my expectations.
I would definitely recommend John Sheehan for any design project! He is organized, delivers his work on schedule, and is excellent at communication. He listened to my ideas and vision for the event and created a design that perfectly fit the theme for the event. He designed and organized the event website, and I was very pleased with how it turned out. I will definitely hire John again for any future design needs!”
- Amy Klepser, The Grand Rapids Holiday Sip & Shop
“John’s work speaks for itself,
but his thoughtful approach to design and the excitement he brings to every project somehow rival his talent as an artist. In our years working together, he has never been anything but perceptive, responsive, and professional- and we continue to be blown away!”
- Kris Wierenga, Ore Dock Brewing Company
"John thoughtfully selected
the best elements of my initial concept and crafted together a truly unique logo for my new business that's as impressively bold as it is subtle. From my initial inquiry to the final delivery, working with John was an amazing experience, one that I'll be looking to repeat again in the future."
- John Scheibe, The Yonder Studio
