Jacob grew up in small town Mid-Missouri where design is an afterthought far too often. He started college as a Computer Science student, creating in his free time. Eventually though, with support from friends and family, he changed to full-time creative.

Graduating with his BFA from the University of Central Missouri, he's worked with in-house teams and remote teams alike. He loves design, art, gaming and spending time with his wife and animals.

Ultimately, his goal is to show young creatives that design can be a fruitful and fulfilling career, and work within his community to foster creativity wherever he can.
