Your Name

Hello, again! 👋🏻

I’m Jake, a New York-based designer who also writes code.

Currently an Art Director at Forbes, where I lead a team of designers shaping creative strategy across Brand & Growth Marketing, Ad Products, and Digital Membership. I taught myself to code at 13, building websites before I even knew what design really was, and I’m still obsessed with that mix of technical curiosity and visual thinking—it drives how I tackle everything from responsive digital experiences to miscellaneous brand campaigns.

Before Forbes, I designed web experiences at FanDuel and earned a BFA in Graphic Design from SCAD. When I’m not designing, you’ll find me solving NYT crosswords, gaming, or over-analyzing the latest season of Survivor 🌴.
