My name is John Lhotka.
I am a graphic designer and illustrator living in Tallahassee, FL.
I enjoy telling stories through my visuals and copy-writing. I love finding ways to better connect organizations with their community. I hope my designs inform and inspire others.
As a freelancer, I have worked with both local and national clients. I enjoy designing visuals for social media and collateral like posters, publications, branding and other graphics.
I have a BFA in Graphic Design from the University of West Florida.
Community Organizing
I served as the Communications Director of AIGA Tallahassee from 2020 to 2023. I promoted our various events, managed our social media, and organized the monthly newsletter. I wrote and curated articles spotlighting different members and community.
I am a Community Catalyst for KCCI Tallahassee, where I was instrumental in the "Fully Booked" project.
I founded Creative Collective Tallahassee with a group of other creatives in 2023.
I am an organizer for Design Week Tallahassee where I manage the social media, organize events and even host talks. We won a Silver American Advertising Award in 2021 for our six-month long virtual event.
Through my interview series, Inspirations 4 Aspirations, I spoke to creatives of all forms about their creative journeys.
