Many years ago while preparing a memo for my boss, I found myself more concerned with what font I was using than with mundane details such as sending it out or filing it! Well, my boss noticed as did the president of the company and, realizing I couldn’t file to save my life, they transferred me to the art department. Good bye Scarborough, hello downtown Toronto! Since then I’ve been turning boring blocks of copy into intriguing magazine layouts, plain jane sell sheets into compelling catalogues, stagnant charts into gorgeous feasts of information, and cluttered notices into posters of extravagant delight!

What am I, Superman? No, I’m a graphic designer!

My name is Joe, my company is Calleja Design.

Words alone contribute only 7% to a person’s understanding of what they read. I contribute to the other 93%.


I am a brand identity expert and specialize in creating marketing and sales material that reflects the unique characteristics of your organization and message.

If you need a brochure to fit within an already developed brand identity, or if your branding needs a complete makeover, I have the experience to both create a new look for you, and manage it across the various formats and mediums in which it will be presented.

Your branding is more than just a logo and business card: every brochure, flyer, magazine or newspaper ad, website or online banner ad communicates your brand. Let a design expert produce these materials for you, so you can concentrate on doing what you do best.


My clients say it best.

"I love [Chrisse Allan's] new logo. Congratulations! As a designer myself I can appreciate its elegance and balance within a circular shape - no other shape or form in the Universe is more perfect than the circle. The colours chosen speak to [her] outgoing personality and are well suited to a competitive industry that cries out for distinction. The elegance of the letter forms is classic. Nicely done." – J. Mascheretti

"I came to Joe Calleja of Calleja Design because my company was in need of a visual makeover. Joe was very receptive and took a great deal of information about me and my company so he could determine a direction to work in.
He then provided me with a range of ideas for a company logo and the reasoning behind each one of them. This was very important as it showed that he was actively thinking how each design would work in an overall concept.
Once we decided upon one of them, he quickly formed a design for a business card that made sense.
I am now very proud to hand out my business card. It is visually appealing, conveys the right message and makes me and my company look more professional.
This instills confidence in myself and further confidence that I made the right business decision to engage Joe in the design."
– Greg Scott, PHAND Corporation

"… often the things around us are perfect and wondrous – they just wait to be unraveled and loved. This is exactly what the artist Joe Calleja does in his collections of photographs, going beyond the appearance of the objects and searching for deeper meanings."
