Jon Versace
thinksmith
Senior Graphic Designer
A creative through and through, Jon brings an artist’s eye and idea-first mindset to every challenge. As our “Thinksmith,” he blends curiosity, versatility, and a deep love of learning to craft thoughtful, impactful solutions for clients. Jon’s experience spans both boutique agencies and large corporate environments, where he’s worked across industries ranging from B2B and B2C to banking, pets, and power tools—always adapting his approach to meet the moment. A graduate of Manhattanville College with a BFA in Studio Art and further studies at Savannah College of Art and Design, Jon is driven by possibility and a constant desire to grow. At Think Up, he thrives in the space where ideas take shape, believing the strongest work starts with bold thinking and intentional collaboration. Outside of work, you’ll find him building Legos, cooking, or adventuring with his family in Greenville, South Carolina—the place he happily calls home.
Beside the point....
- Jon was once declared a “miracle baby,” born more than three months early and initially thought not to have survived—until a nurse discovered otherwise!
- While bartending in Savannah, he once hosted an after-hours hangout with none other than Keanu Reeves, who stayed for hours swapping stories with the staff.
- Family lineage runs deep: Jon is related to famed designer Gianni Versace on his father’s side and has ties to both a cardinal, once considered for pope, and a bare-knuckle boxing champion on his mother’s side.
