I'm Jacob, i'm a motion-first brand designer based on the mid north coast of Australia, with over a decade of experience in building designing brands that tell stories through movement.

From concept, to strategy, to design and build, i've spent my career growing as a design generalist, learning every single tool and discipline that I could to help bring ideas to life - all in one place.

With a career that has spanned global creative agencies, local independents, and a long stint building a brand from the inside out in the world of SaaS, i'm a rare blend of creative that champions work that not only looks great, but drives real business outcomes.
