About JMartin Designs
A journey rooted in culture, creativity, and bold visual storytelling.
Every creation at JMartin Designs is shaped by a lifetime of artistic exploration,
from humble beginnings in Barbados to a career spanning fashion, entertainment, community art, and visual storytelling.
My journey started with fabric, sketches, and an instinct for transforming simple materials into expressive works that carried identity and meaning. What began as experiments with paint and airbrush soon grew into a signature style rooted in culture, craftsmanship, and bold visual energy.
In Los Angeles, I sharpened my craft in the fast-paced world of music and film, designing custom airbrush pieces, murals, wardrobe, and visual elements featured in major music videos, film productions, and celebrity collaborations. Those years taught me how to translate emotion into form and bring creative visions to life on every surface.
Now based in New York City, I merge traditional artistry with digital innovation to produce work that inspires, uplifts, and connects. From community murals and branding to personalized commissions and entertainment projects, my work continues to evolve, grounded in culture, creativity, and the belief that every vision deserves to be seen and celebrated.
JMartin Designs is more than an art brand.
It is a lifetime of storytelling, craftsmanship, and creative purpose.
