Jonathan Maloney

What’s up! I’m Jonathan Maloney 👋 I’m an Art Director and Graphic Designer with 17 years creative professional experience based out of Atlanta-ish, Georgia. I love doing good design for great people. In an industry where it’s too easy to take yourself too seriously, I try and find the fun and joy in what I do, every day. Here’s a little bit about me: Life Highlights: 👰‍♀️ I’ve been married for 14 years to a woman who is 150% cooler than me. 👨‍👦‍👦 I have 3 sons, 2 of my sons have special needs. I learn from them every single day. 🎶 I’m inspired and obsessed with music and art. Professional Highlights: 🎨 Art Director for one of America’s largest churches 🎨 Creative Partner at Brightful Studio 🎨 Design, Brand and Logo Designer at JonathanMaloney .com 🎨 I’ve been lucky enough to have worked for multiple award winning marketing agencies Things I Enjoy: ☕️ Good light roast Coffee. 🍺 Better double IPA Beer. 📚 Reading as much fiction and nonfiction as I possibly can. 😑 Collecting Vinyl Records + Collecting mean looks from my wife for spending too much money on vinyl records. 🎸 Being painfully mediocre at my Fender Jazzmaster Guitar. If you want to read my thoughts on creativity, really good design and tolerable dad jokes follow me at @JonathanMaloney. Introduce yourself below, I'd love to connect!

Congratulations to @JeffWri on your release, and thanks for letting me design your cover!

I’m always so flabbergasted that people trust me with their passions. Working with a rad client on these single covers has kept me busy 🔥

@alliswell Real. This is always the time of year I consider being Amish.

Paying self-employed taxes with the taxed money the employer paid me after they received money that was taxed.

@AlinDragu @nathanbarry Forever my biggest advocate. I appreciate you dude!

@nathanbarry @JonathanMaloney is unstoppable

A friend is looking to hire a brand agency for her company rebrand. Who have you worked with that is amazing?

Saturday’s are for making music. Music is my outlet from work. It’s one of the few things I can get into a zone doing and lose track of time.

@oykun @figma @framer @MobbinDesign @designcodeio @dribbble Not to bad mouth anyone, but dribbble is a wasteland these days. I’m 4 years into subscribing to @ucllc and it’s never let me down! The conference is killer too.

Designers, What subscriptions do you pay for, regarding your career? Except @figma @framer :) Maybe @MobbinDesign ? Course series like @designcodeio ? @dribbble pro? X Premium? Any community? …?

Cool isn’t always good. Good is always cool.

Hey Designer, If your design tutorial on YouTube is more than 8 minutes, it's not a good tutorial.

@AlinDragu Hahaha. Homeboy just felt inspired!

@JonathanMaloney We back Bish?

With gratitude, optimism is sustainable.

Businesses don't make things, people do ⚡️

@timmyanimates 💋💋💋

i turned 41 two weeks ago, and these dudes all chipped in and grabbed me these fresh new SBs. super thankful for these dudes. you pride yourself on being strong and independent, capable of doing it all on your own?! you’re losing. where’s the joy in that?! where’s the shared celebration and going through life together with people who are at your sides pushing you when you’re lacking drive and motivation. people to pick you up when you’ve been knocked down. or shoot, when you fall on your own?! get you some people like @AlinDragu, @JonathanMaloney, and @leetbaker! win together. create together.

I'm still pretty hot on this annual report I did a few years back. What's something you're working on that you're feeling super proud of? Happy Sunday, friends.

@NeilKollipara @AlinDragu Man, it’s honestly the best.

@JonathanMaloney @AlinDragu That’s a series I need to read.

Stephen King has published 65 novels. Some people "burn out" after 3 long-form posts. Creators create.

Behind every successful man on X, there’s a good woman who doesn’t care about his followers and just hopes he’s having fun.

Hey creative, People don’t buy art. 🖼️ They buy the artist. 👨‍🎨

@EclecticJOAT That’s awesome. People over product, always! Who’s your favorite artist to collect?

@JonathanMaloney Yes. I have four pieces from one artist because we enjoy their work and love to support them where we can.

@Khesta3 😂

@JonathanMaloney 😂 I'm trying to wrap my head around it

@Khesta3 I’d love to know your thoughts my dude!

@JonathanMaloney Hmmmm🤔

@AlinDragu @MoyinoluwaAyo11 Yes, but mostly the toilet paper. 🧻

@JonathanMaloney @MoyinoluwaAyo11 Nor will you ever look at time again the same. It fly’s by a crap ton faster now!
