Justin Shaffer
Graphic design & youth instruction — Philadelphia
I design logos, websites, and apps, and I coach youth soccer. Everything below I made myself.
Selected work
Three projects
Consumer app · Identity & product design
GSplit
An app I designed and built. I made the logo, picked the fonts and colors, drew the mascot, and designed every screen. It's live, and people have submitted a few thousand photos.

Client work · Brand identity & website
First Step
to Wellness
A logo and website for a health coach in Pennsylvania. I drew the flower, picked the colors and fonts, and made the business cards, social posts, and the site.

Rondo
An app I built to keep track of my players. Coaches log sessions and parents get progress reports. Still testing it.
In developmentPrint & illustration
Three projects
Photoshop · Speculative currency
Wakanda Currency
Four made-up banknotes for Wakanda — two purple, two gold. I drew the lettering, the alphabet running down the sides, and the portraits.
Illustrator · Speculative book jacket
The Shining
A book cover redesign. Front, spine, and back laid out as one piece so it could actually be printed. I drew the typewriter and used the hotel's carpet pattern on the spine.
Illustrator · Travel poster
Siena
A travel poster of the horse race in Siena, Italy. I worked from photos and built the whole thing out of shapes in Illustrator.
Coaching & instruction
Four roles · Since 2023Weekly training sessions and tournaments for kids ages 8–12.
Two boys teams for the full season. I run the practices, games, and tournaments, handle scheduling and travel, and write player evaluations. Parent meetings at mid-season.
Sessions for ages 3–5 and for K through 4th grade. I also help with the older academy teams, U8 to U16, and handle scheduling.
60+ kids ages 4–11 at two locations, taught with story-based drills.
