About The Logo
When I began shaping my personal brand, I didn’t start with a visual style. I started with a belief: design is most powerful when it tells a meaningful story. Every project I work on is rooted in context, and that context gives the design purpose. Without it, even the most polished work fails to connect with its audience. Understanding who a design is for, where it lives, and why it exists is what turns visuals into communication.
My rabbit mark reflects that philosophy. “Hopper” was my childhood nickname, given to me by my parents, and it marks the beginning of my passion for illustration and design. From tracing cartoons on my grandmother’s computer with my brother as a kid to building a career in graphic design, that early curiosity has shaped how I approach my work today. People, storytelling, and context are the foundations of my creative process.
Context can completely transform a piece of art into visual communication, which is what I do at JRM Graphics.
