Hello, again! 👋🏻

I’m Jake, a New York-based designer with a front-end dev background.

I didn't take the traditional route into design. I started writing code at 13—learning how to build things before I even knew what design really meant. This sparked an early passion for problem-solving and creativity that eventually led me to pursue a BFA in Graphic Design from SCAD (with a minor in art history too... because why not).

Since then, I’ve consulted for a wide range of clients—designing brand ads, building landing pages, and producing hundreds of marketing campaigns. Today, I lead design at Forbes, driving innovation across Ad Products, Brand/Growth Marketing, and Digital Membership. While my career primarily centers on design, my technical background has helped me collaborate more seamlessly with engineers across web and product teams.

Otherwise, I’m an avid NYT crossword solver, cat dad, gamer, and hardcore Survivor 🌴 superfan (...yes, that show is still on).
