I’m Brandon Valery Johnson, a Brooklyn-born artist, designer, and visual storyteller known as visual griot. i create murals, illustrations, and immersive installations that translate culture into clear, compelling visual narratives for schools, institutions, and brands.
Trained in communication design and illustration at pratt institute, my work is rooted in figurative and narrative-driven imagery designed to engage audiences, activate space, and support storytelling across physical and digital environments.
I’ve collaborated with organizations including ember charter school, asase yaa, and project tama, creating work that reflects culture while aligning with audience, site, and project goals.
Whether you’re seeking a mural, illustration, or creative partnership, i’m interested in building work that is intentional, impactful, and built to last.
