Mark Johnson is a design team leader and brand systems specialist based in Portland, Oregon. He builds scalable visual identity systems that bring clarity, cohesion, and structure to complex brands. With experience spanning enterprise food brands, emerging startups, and national retailers, Mark’s work blends modernist design principles with practical, real‑world execution.

He has led identity architecture, packaging systems, and cross‑channel brand governance for organizations ranging from $5M portfolio brands to $2.5B national companies. Known for his typographic judgment, system thinking, and collaborative leadership style, Mark helps teams work smarter, design with intention, and deliver consistent brand experiences at scale.
