I'M JACK
(...ACTUALLY JOHN, BUT NOBODY CALLS ME THAT)
I’m a designer born and raised in the Bay Area, California with over five years experience in physical design, digital design, and service design. I have the design experience necessary to understand the importance of a holistic approach to problem solving, coupled with a technological background to quickly test my ideas and understand the costs of any potential solutions.
Let’s build something!
