About
Hey, Jake here. Thanks for checking out my stuff. If you're looking for some more examples of previous work, please reach out through the contact page.
I'm currently living in LA – escaping up the coast on weekends. Usually surfing, hiking, or working on the camper rig.
Always open to new opportunities across design: UX, product development and art direction are common areas these days.
I graduated from Emerson College with a bachelor's degree in Media Production and a Minor in Psych.

Gamma Communications
Senior Art Director
Hired to ideate, pitch and execute marketing campaigns, rebrands, packaging, and social materials for products and brands. Responsible for delivering high quality assets across multiple projects and deadlines. Working closely with account managers, clients and other key stakeholders to understand measurable goals of work, developing critical timelines and managing other freelance creatives.
June 2022 - February 2024
The Wall Street Journal
Graphic Designer
Designed ads and platforms for paid partnerships across digital and print publications. Varied in scope and size, the ads were always custom suited to client and target demographic. Some of these creative productions cost upward of $1.5M. To ensure such value, there was a lot of coordinated efforts with sales teams, c-suite folks, and lots of rounds of edits in brand positioning and co-branded initiatives.
October 2020 - June 2022
The Farmlink Project 501(c)3
Art Director, Marketing
As a volunteer Art Director, I directed national campaigns across OOH, social, and corporate partnerships. These included Chipotle and Uber “round up” initiatives. OOH campaigns landed on billboards across the New York City Metro and Times Square. This stemmed from my original development of the project's brand identity, overseeing social strategy and design during the early stages of the startup.
The Farmlink Project has been recognized by the Congressional Medal of Honor Society's Citizen Award, Bill & Melinda Gates Goalkeeper Award, and the Jefferson Award for Public Service.
