Colleagues describe him as "I LOVE JAKE! That's right, I said it. He's fab for all the reasons you'd expect: he's a talented designer, thoughtful and meticulous. He thinks on his feet and is always on the ready with ideas and solutions to improve the project outcome. He has a curious mind and clearly loves digital. Having worked with him for two years now, I've seen him over deliver time and time again. I've even watched him go the extra mile -training himself to animate, code or whatever is needed to validate creative ideas. Throughout all the projects we've worked on together at D/C, he's not once broken a sweat about anything (and he's had plenty of reason to thanks to some less than ideal circumstances beyond our control). His can-do and never settle for anything less than perfect attitude is every producer's dream. I have an immense amount of respect for his talents. As an added bonus, Jake is an all around, down to earth, good 'ol, nice guy, who makes coming to work every day a complete joy. No dream team is complete without Jake, period. " and "This guy! What can you say about this guy? Well, lemme tell ya. First off, Jake is hands down, a Great designer - capital G people. His attention to detail is very good and takes an active role in thinking through the UX, ensuring all aspects of the project are better. A clear advocate for best practices and driven to stay current in the field. He’s easy to get along with, modest and has a great sense of humor. Sure he’s funny lookin, but the quality design this guy pumps out on a regular basis easily makes up for it. He’s incredibly talented, passionate about his work and driven to see each project through to the end. If that wasn’t enough, he’s freakin' humble. Jake has no ego and is genuinely excited about the work he’s doing. I’m often asked for design resources and he’s the first name that pops in my head. I look forward to working with him again."

Listed skills include Art Direction, Interaction Design, Creative Direction, User Experience, and 16 others.
