HEY! I’M JONAI,

a designer who specializes in editorial and exhibition design. I have collaborated with an array of arts & culture institutions around the world, learning distinct cultural histories and visual languages to reach diverse audiences through thoughtful and thought-provoking storytelling.

I am presently the in-house designer for Monument Lab – a public art, history, and design studio that reimagines monuments – where I lead organizational branding, experiential graphics production, and the design of Monument Lab’s print journal, the Bulletin.

When taking a breath from design, I can be found traveling to art galleries near and far, and adding new art books to my ever-growing library to enliven my creativity. My latest addition is Amos Paul Kennedy Jr.’s Citizen Printer (2024).
