JAKE

Originally I worked in the marketing department - evolving the Spiceworks brand across various mediums (primarily web). My responsibilities included designing sub-brands, micro-sites, banner ads, HTML emails, print collateral, etc.

Recently I left the marketing department to join a small team within the company that is focused on redesigning and re-imagining a better community for our users. This is a lot of fun to work on as we take design concepts typically used in consumer apps, and apply them to the business space.

I am focused on the visual design and information architecture of this new direction. As the project evolves, I am also creating a consistent toolkit for developers to use across our different web properties.

I was officially an intern, but I quickly took on projects and responsibilities of a part-timer or contractor. I started off designing newspaper and banner ads. As my role grew I was designing for larger print campaigns and was the lead designer for one of our regional clients: The Junior League of Lubbock. Primarily print work, I produced: brochures, posters, tickets, guides, ads, invitations, etc.

During school I did a lot of freelance work for small businesses. Mostly smaller static websites and print design.
