About Me
As a Creative Instigator, I believe bold ideas grounded in data and informed strategy have the power to move people and markets. With 15+ years of experience in Adobe Creative Suite, cross-channel marketing, digital design, and print production, I bring campaigns to life from concept to execution—whether it’s a high-impact email, a direct mail piece, or a full-scale brand rollout.
I’ve led creative across industries from grocery and automotive retail to financial services and agency support, translating complex business goals into clear, compelling visuals that get results.
I’m equally at home getting hands-on with production as I am leading the creative strategy behind the work. My approach? Think critically, design loudly, and collaborate with teams that care about the craft.
If you’re looking for someone who can own the full creative process from early concept to final deliverable while pushing for smarter, sharper ideas, let’s connect.
Testimonials
"I would highly recommend Jay as a creative director, senior art director, lead designer, or for any position where you need a combination of thought and design."
— Mark Tucker, Marketing Director
"Jay is a very gifted and talented Art Director who really understands how to convey strategy and messaging through design. Jay always was ready to not only meet what the strategy was trying to convey through creative, but really pushed himself to learn more technical aspects of being an Art Director."
— Erin Lawrence, VP Director of Marketing
