About me

Hi! I'm Jacob. I really enjoy creating interesting branding and packaging, particularly those with a strong narrative. I find the idea of storytelling through design extremely intriguing which is why I focus a lot on music design as I find music often tells some of the best stories. However, I certainly don’t limit myself to this type of design. . I like to think I have a bit of a different style, my friends often call me the “mad scientist” of design due to my unconventional way of thinking.
