Brand steward. Event designer. Strategic communicator.
Studio JD is the independent design practice of Jamie Dumas, Communications Director at a national nonprofit organization dedicated to advancing inclusion in the legal profession. With more than a decade of experience building brand systems for high-stakes audiences, Jamie designs events as fully realized brand environments: cohesive and intentional from the biggest moments to the smallest details.
She specializes in the kind of design that has to work at scale, where every element is seen by hundreds of people at once and where the gap between a polished identity and a cobbled-together one is immediately felt. Column wraps and stage backdrops. Badge systems and wayfinding. Presentation decks that match the room. Cocktail menus that carry the brand to the bar.
Through Studio JD, she brings that same discipline to freelance engagements, partnering with corporations, professional associations, nonprofits, and community organizations ready to invest in design that looks polished, feels intentional, and scales beautifully.
Based in Richmond, Virginia. Available for select projects.
A Strategic Approach to Design
Design is more than aesthetics—it's a powerful communication tool. Jamie begins each project by asking:
Who is the audience, and what do they need in this moment?
How should this experience feel?
How can each element work together to create something seamless?
