Award-winning designer Justin Godwin has over a decade of experience in various areas of design, including graphic design, illustration, branding, merchandise, packaging, printing, layout and publication design, social media management, video editing, and web design.
I have a decade of experience in self-directed learning, mastering Adobe Creative Suite, Figma, and other design software via online courses. My passion for design drove me to further formalize my skills in 2022 by pursuing an Advanced Diploma in Graphic Design at Centennial College. There, I maintained a 4.27 GPA and was honoured with multiple recognitions for my work, leadership, and community contributions, including three scholarships and an honourable mention in packaging design from the Association of Registered Graphic Designers (RGD) of Canada.
In 2022, I founded Good God Graphics, a design studio specializing in creating logos, branding, marketing materials, social media strategies, and web design for diverse clients. My goal is to deliver designs that are memorable, recognizable, iconic, accessible, and engaging.
One of my most rewarding projects has been creating and launching Good God Garlic, a successful garlic sauce startup. I developed every aspect of the brand, from the logo and packaging design to the marketing strategy and website. This venture has become a local sensation, cultivating a loyal customer base through its cohesive brand identity and standout product design.
In my role as a Lead Graphic Designer at BOND|ST Events Centre, I was responsible for branding, social media management, and marketing strategies for the BOND|ST Snack Bar, as well as contributing to five other businesses within the venue. This position allowed me to take the lead on various projects, including art direction, promotional material design, web design, video production, and menu design, all of which enhanced the venue’s visibility and engagement.
In 2023, I organized a charitable pop-up event called Garage Sale. I managed all aspects of branding, social media marketing, merchandise design, and event coordination. The event was a resounding success, with all proceeds benefiting local food banks.
I am a passionate leader dedicated to innovation and I am constantly seeking to push the boundaries of design. My goal is to create impactful visuals and deliver exceptional user experiences.
