J\V.S is a design company / brand / platform for myself, Jon Way. I'm an independent Creative Director + Designer focused on progressive output across several mediums, and verticals. In my time as both a full-time and freelance creative, I've managed creative teams while retaining an executional interest in the work. My focus is typically in creating solutions that are both highly-crafted, and practical in addressing business needs at scale.

Professionally, I have over 15 years experience with a wide-range of brands, agencies and individuals. This list includes brands like Apple, Arcteryx, Netflix, RTFKT, and Beats. Agencies like Resn, CTHDRL, Jam3, and Rare Volume. Individuals like Aristide Benoist and Ash Thorp. And more recently, I've been exploring various brand partnership models with Tavarua, Danc and Isoko.

At the moment I'm available for freelance opportunities starting Feb 2025, but am prioritizing full-time opportunities where I can help build something meaningful. Freelance is fun, but I feel the time has come to settle into something where I can use my experience managing teams and executing across creative fields to create with more continuity and momentum.

Regardless, I'm always keen to connect even if the timing isn't quite right, and to keep in touch.
