Jaci Johnson
Hi there!
I’m Jaci Johnson, a senior graphic designer in Minneapolis, MN voted most likely to use too many exclamation points in an email. I like learning new things, brainstorming, and “Tetris-ing” layouts into arrangements for your eyeballs and brain to enjoy. Outside of work, I love Scotland, power tools, cream cheese wontons, Bing Crosby, and antique stores.
“JAYSEE”
