Johnson & Johnson—HR Next: Future of Work Campaign
Role:
Lead Designer (via JK Design)
Tools: Illustrator, InDesign, Photoshop, PowerPoint
Overview:
For Johnson & Johnson’s internal HR Next campaign, with the help of my creative director, we led the creative development of a full-scale internal event identity. This included branding, presentation templates, environmental graphics, print collateral, and digital assets—all centered around a highly specific, client-mandated concept.
Challenge:
The creative brief required a visual system inspired by the periodic table—an inherently dated concept that risked undermining the forward-thinking tone of the “Future of Work” event. My challenge was to elevate this motif into something vibrant, modern, and conceptually engaging without abandoning the client’s ask.
Pre-campaign (awareness)
Approach:
I leaned into a maximalist approach, using abstracted “element” blocks to create dynamic compositions that suggested cause-and-effect relationships between ideas, behaviors, and outcomes—mirroring the science of workforce evolution. The design system extended across event signage, print collateral, digital templates, and presentation decks.

Results:
The client response was overwhelmingly positive. The campaign struck the perfect balance between conceptual play and professional polish, and was used across multiple internal communications touchpoints before and after the event. It’s a prime example of turning a creatively limiting prompt into a compelling brand experience.
Branded an internal J&J event using a modern, science-inspired visual system. Elevated engagement across digital, print, and environmental touchpoints.
