Meet Afton Design Co.
Afton Design Co. is an award-winning graphic design studio based in Charlottesville, VA. We create compelling visuals that help you drive results.
Founded and led by Chief Design Officer Jackie Temkin, Afton Design Co. is a woman-owned design agency that specializes in supporting in-house marketing teams, partnering with nonprofits, corporations, educational institutions, and public organizations across a range of industries and sectors.
We believe in elevating people and empowering organizations through human-centered design. Our combined expertise in business and design helps organizations translate complex ideas and strategies into clear, engaging, and impactful creative solutions. We approach every project with equal parts creative curiosity and strategic thinking, considering not just how something looks, but what story it needs to tell. That deep attention to how audiences actually engage with content pushes us to think outside the box, challenge assumptions, and create graphics that are intuitive, accessible, and meaningful. We're always looking for new ways to make information more approachable, connect with audiences, and drive success for our clients.
