Good Creative

Team Spotlight, Adam Junod - Founder and Creative Director.

Adam's design journey began in Los Angeles after graduating from CSUN in 2006. He worked at advertising agencies and gained valuable experiences, but felt a desire for a balanced lifestyle. After almost a decade of working with clients like Netflix and Disney, he became a freelancer, embracing the opportunity to travel and explore his entrepreneurial side in design.

During this time, he discovered the Worldwide Opportunities on Organic Farms (WWOOF) movement. He pursued personal growth by completing apprenticeships and trade certifications while freelancing in peaceful rural settings. The farms he lived on and the organizations he worked with became his cherished clients. From the beautiful landscapes of Maui to the vibrant cultures of New Orleans, Philadelphia, Taos, and Cottage Grove, he immersed himself in organic farming, natural building, permaculture, and holistic living.

In 2016, Adam moved to San Diego and worked at a tech startup, where he met Emily, who was completing her PhD program at UCSD. They fell in love and decided to downsize their lives, moving to Austin when Emily got a prestigious position with the Gates Foundation. They embraced minimalism and lived in a compact 150-square-foot tiny home, leading an off-grid lifestyle. After Austin, they set their sights on Eugene in the Pacific Northwest.

In Eugene, Adam quickly became involved in the design community and met JJ Walker (Avitar Virgonian). They formed a strong bond and decided to establish Good Creative, aiming to elevate craft food and beverage businesses in the Pacific Northwest through purpose-driven design and branding.

For Adam, design goes beyond graphic arts. He sees it as harmoniously arranging elements for both aesthetics and functionality, influencing every aspect of his life. Outside the studio, he finds fulfillment in landscape and interior design. With Emily Elysia Little and their dog Luna, they embark on adventures in the enchanting forests of the PNW, constantly inspired by the beauty of life.

JJ WALKER, Senior Designer

JJ Walker has spent a life fully immersed in different facets of the visual & audio arts. He decided to focus his creative abilities in the rewarding, but challenging avenue of visual communication. After graduating from Design School in 2003 he moved to Bend to cut his teeth in the fast-paced world of print. He quickly took to the profession and ran the design department for a commercial print shop for the next 5 years. When he met his soon to be wife Emma, JJ decided to move to Eugene and start freelancing. Since 2009 he has designed and illustrated for businesses in Oregon while simultaneously trying to juggle raising two children. In 2019, JJ and Adam decided to combine forces and go all in on Good Creative.

When not doing some kind of visual arts you can catch JJ dabbling in the audio arts, DJing vinyl records or making music with his friends. He also enjoys playing in the Oregon Wilderness; hiking, mountain biking, snowboarding, camping, and spending summer pool days with Emma and his kids.
