About Us

El Jefe Design is the secret code name for successful designer, illustrator, author and masked luchadore 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. 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.
