About
Known for my creativity, concept-driven designs, and my great sense of humor; people enjoy working with me. Handling stressful situations and efficient time-management has enabled me to become the calm, cool, collected designer I am today. A former editor at Philadelphia Magazine said “Jay is unflappable under pressure.” Allow me to demonstrate my ability to keep cool while creating top-notch pieces.
I love beautiful typography, colors that set the right mood, and clean design with a purpose. I work closely with my clients to deeply understand their business and communication needs so I can develop innovative solutions to meet their unique challenges.
I want to excel in whatever I’m doing. I don’t have to be better than anybody else, I just have to be better than I was yesterday.
When I'm not working on projects, I can be found boarding down a mountain, playing ultimate, or having a dance party with my kids.
