BRFC/Bearface Design is Jon Johnson.

Jon is a self-taught graphic designer and screen-printer operating in Kitchener, Ontario.

Under the name Bearface Design, Jon designs everything from Logos to Gigposters, to Wedding Invitations, to whatever you can think of. Jon is always looking for new challenges, so please get in touch!

As BRFC, Jon takes his designs and puts ink to paper, or fabric, or cork, or whatever medium will take it. What began as a project to customize his own handkerchiefs has become an outlet to create items for everyone to enjoy. If you have a shop and are interested in wholesaling BRFC goods, we'd love to hear from you.
