WHO WE ARE and WHAT WE DO


El Jefe Design is the secret code name for successful designer, illustrator, author and failed-rock star Jeffrey Everett. Located outside of Washington, DC, El Jefe Design has had the pleasure of designing and illustrating for a wide variety of entertainment, corporate, and non-profit clients. Jeff's work has been published in numerous books such as New Vintage Type and Design Entrepreneur, and seen in major magazines including Print, HOW, and Step Inside Design.

He is the recipient of gold and silver awards from The Art Directors Club and a best-in-category from the AdClub (Addys), and is included in the AIGA Fifty Show. His work has been stapled on walls of dingy rock clubs and framed in high-end galleries around the world. Jeff is the author, curator, and designer of "1,000 Garment Graphics" for Rockport Press, and has taught and lectured for American University, University of Baltimore,
and the AIGA.

El Jefe Design works tirelessly with its many clients to ensure that each product exactly fits each client's needs. Ranging from stationery, posters, annual reports, and music packaging to direct mail and websites, El Jefe Design's sensibility is proudly distinctive. Using humor/irony, smarts, fringe culture iconography, and handcrafted work in contrast to the overwhelming homogenization and conservatism that characterize committee-created corporate products. Simply put: El Jefe always delivers heavy-weight design.
