A Bahamian living the American dream.
Johanan Cartwright, a young Bahamian designer, is working to live out the American dream. When he immigrated to the United States for college, he quickly fell in love with the variety of new topography, cultures, and opportunities he was presented with.
Having been raised in the proud, vibrant culture of The Bahamas, Johanan uses memories from his homeland as inspiration throughout his design. He spent many years exploring various mediums and design styles, gaining a proficiency in almost all of them. This exploration—along with his distinctive upbringing—has allowed him to be specially suited to be a graphic designer for people-focused companies that want to make a difference.
Being blessed to travel several places has grown Johanan’s love for this beautifully created world and those that inhabit it. He strives to make the world a better place through his design.
