J. Wirtheim Design is the independent graphic arts and crafts studio that powers the Victory Garden of Tomorrow project, the Garden Signs project, the Sticker Garden project and who has served clients for over 12 years with original art, illustration and design. My studio practices visual arts imbued with a progressive vision, a maker’s set of values and a local-economy sense of scale to create collectible lines of art & merchandise.

Wirtheim’s Victory Garden of Tomorrow is the poster art project for better gardens, better food, better communities.

Garden Signs are Wirtheim Design’s own unique line of outdoor graphic signage.

Joe Wirtheim has been engaged in the practice of illustrating, designing and making in Portland, Oregon since 2008.

One of five Game Day Posters created for the Portland Trail Blazers’ 2018-19 season home games.

Designing signs for the Xerces Society in their mission for invertebrate conservation has been a real pleasure.

Think, Draw, Make & Do

I'm Joe Wirtheim and here at my studio, I love what I do: think, draw, make and do. It's my passion to communicate graphically and put creative ideas into action that drives me. I use illustration, type, color, layout and material to excite the viewer's imagination. My studio works in keeping with the designer-craftsperson-artist who was the cornerstone of the early-20th century Bauhaus movement, something I find fascinating.

My design work has been recognized by The New York Times, Martha Stewart Living Magazine, by Organic Gardening Magazine, by the Portland Art Museum, the Design Museum Boston, the NBA Portland Trail Blazers among others, and our goods can be found in fine shops and homes across the United States.
