Founder Bio

JMport Design House was founded by Juan Montoya on a simple principle: quality rises to the top. After working through the ranks of top multinational agencies, Juan saw firsthand how complex fee structures, bloated processes and disconnected delivery often got in the way of what mattered most: Creative strategy and proven executions that work for operators. He envisioned a simpler, more direct approach rooted in first principles, clarity and results.

Raised in Medellín, Juan returned to Canada at 12. At 18, during his first semester studying Art Direction, he became a father. He worked nights, studied by day and never lost faith through the challenging financial times as a young father. Following graduation, he built his career designing merchandise for global brands including Calvin Klein, Michael Kors and Nike, before moving into design consulting with organizations such as Molson Coors, Ford and Adidas.

Today, Juan works closely with entrepreneurs and more mature operators who are scaling while protecting the integrity of their brand. JMport exists to help them build systems that support sustainable growth, maintain clarity and ensure quality endures over time.
