Hey, I’m Jake!

I’m a graphic designer based in Cleveland, Ohio, where I currently serve as a Senior Graphic Designer at John Carroll University. I lead the university’s in-house creative team, overseeing the development of a refreshed visual identity and revitalized brand system. My work spans from digital assets to environmental signage, ensuring cohesive branding across various touchpoints.

In addition to my role at John Carroll, I also collaborate with Gyst Design, specializing in branding and identity design for arts, nonprofit, and community-focused organizations.

Originally from Cleveland, I earned my Design degree from the University of San Francisco. After graduation, I returned to Ohio, where I continue to grow my design career and contribute to the local creative community.

When I’m not immersed in design, you’ll likely find me spending time with friends, snowboarding in the winter, running, reading, or gaming. I’m always open to new adventures—or a spontaneous pause to pet a dog. Staying active and finding inspiration in every corner of life is important to me.
