Meet M.E. Johnson – Designer, Photographer, Artist
I’m M.E. Johnson, a graphic designer, photographer, and abstract artist based in Illinois. Currently wrapping up my degree in Graphic Design with a Photography minor at Illinois State University, I specialize in blending design, photography, and abstract expression into cohesive visual stories. My work often balances bold design with raw authenticity—because why choose one when you can have both?
I’ve had the privilege of exhibiting at University Galleries and showcasing my work across multiple creative outlets. Whether it’s developing unique visual identities, crafting abstract compositions, or capturing the perfect shot, I’m always exploring new ways to push creative boundaries.
When I’m not deep into a project, you’ll probably find me experimenting with new ideas for BSBW (Beauty, Sound, Balance, Wonder) or cooking up something unexpected—both on canvas and in the kitchen.
Let’s connect and create something that inspires.
What I Do:
Graphic Design: Creating visual solutions that blend creativity and strategy.
Photography: Capturing moments that tell authentic stories.
Abstract Art: Exploring raw expression through form, color, and texture.
Highlights:
Exhibited work at University Galleries, Illinois State University.
Featured at Sweet Corn Circus as an independent vendor.
Freelance work in design, photography, and digital art.
"At the core of my work is a desire to create authentic, meaningful experiences. Whether through design, art, or photography, I aim to inspire and connect with others on a visual and emotional level." - Rawthentic314
