Hello, again! 👋🏻

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

My path into design wasn’t exactly traditional. I began coding at 13, making websites before I even knew what design really meant. That early spark led to a strong passion for problem-solving and visual thinking, and eventually to a BFA in Graphic Design from SCAD (with a minor in art history too, because why not?).

Since then, my career has mainly focused on building responsive landing pages, shaping digital products, and launching hundreds of marketing campaigns for a wide range of clients. Today, I lead design at Forbes, driving creative strategy across Brand/Growth Marketing, Ad Products, and Membership. While design is at the heart of what I do, my technical background helps me collaborate more seamlessly with engineers across web and product teams.

Otherwise, I’m also an avid NYT crossword solver, cat dad, casual gamer, and hardcore Survivor 🌴 superfan.
