Hey, I’m Jake!

I’m a graphic designer based in Cleveland, Ohio, currently working as a Senior Graphic Designer at John Carroll University. I lead the university’s in-house creative team, guiding the development of a refreshed visual identity and revitalized brand system. My work spans everything from digital assets and environmental signage to large-scale marketing campaigns—ensuring cohesive branding across all creative output.

In addition to my role at John Carroll, I collaborate with Gyst Design, specializing in branding and identity design for clients around the world.

Originally from Cleveland, I earned my degree in Design from the University of San Francisco. After graduation, I returned to Ohio, where I’ve continued to grow my design career ever since.

When I’m working, you’ll likely find me spending time with friends, snowboarding in the winter, running, reading, or gaming. I’m always up for a new adventure, or a spontaneous pause to pet any dog I see. Staying active and finding inspiration in all parts of life is important to me.
