About Jake

I have studied and worked in the field of graphic design since 2002 and web design since 2009. Since 2010, I was intrigued to study and practice user experience design methods and improve my front-end web development skills as a student and on the job. The majority of my professional experience resides within the business-to-business and healthcare industries. I’m inspired by interacting with users to discover their perspectives with web experiences and design gratifying websites/applications for them.

I currently live in Southwest Washington State near Portland, Oregon. When I’m not busy with web projects, I’m usually reading, spending time with my family, or exploring the Pacific Northwest.
