Mason Johnson

Born and raised during the Mad Men era by a father who actually was an ad man with an office that reeked of cigarette smoke, rubber cement, and markers that made your head spin from just one whiff. But I loved every inch of the place and grew to be consumed with the world of communications. I started full-time at JohnsonRauhoff in 1996 as a graphic designer, mainly creating promotions for a slew of pharmaceutical brands. Over the years my portfolio has expanded dramatically to include national campaigns, tv commercials, websites, social marketing and one season of a public television show.

Today, my style is very hands on concepting, designing and working across multiple teams to inspire great work.
