Hi, I'm Joanna Montano.
I'm a versatile designer who in another life might have tried stand-up comedy.
Graphic Designer
Graphic Designer with 10+ years of experience in print and digital graphics. Skilled in collaborating with art directors, editors, marketing, and sales teams, while also excelling in independent work. Bringing a strong balance of creative vision and practical execution across solo and collaborative projects.
As part of PHOENIX Magazine’s event branding team, I design visual assets for major events including Best Fest, AZ Craft Beer Awards, Summer Cocktail Camp, and Dish Fest. My work spans tradeshow graphics, banners, posters, flyers, web graphics, and social media assets. Each piece is tailored to reflect the unique energy of the event while maintaining brand consistency. I also create all in-house advertisements for the magazine, ensuring a cohesive visual presence across both print and digital platforms.
In addition, I design promotional materials for Phoenix Home & Garden’s Home and Garden Tours, following the same process from concept to production. Across all projects, I focus on delivering polished visuals that are optimized for both on-site impact and online engagement.
Developed event branding, in-house advertising, large-format print materials, and cohesive multi-platform designs across print, web, and social media for PHOENIX Magazine and Phoenix Home & Garden.
