A little about me

The why drive.

Outside of work, I’m a dad, my greatest project yet. Fatherhood has only deepened my drive to create with purpose and passion. Every design, every pixel, is a reflection of the same values I want to teach my kids: creativity, intention, and the courage to build something that lasts.

Hey, I’m Jacob, a graphic designer, creative thinker, and all-around design addict who’s been chasing that “wow” moment ever since I first saw someone light up over something I made. What started as a passion for helping people and making their day turned into a full-blown obsession with design, how it looks, how it feels, and how it tells a story without saying a word. I’ve always believed great design has the power to move people, and that belief is what drives everything I create.

My path to becoming a designer wasn’t a straight line. I began in business and project management, but I quickly realized I was most alive when I was designing, crafting visuals that make people stop and feel something. That realization pushed me to learn design inside and out, eventually launching my own creative agency, Black Phoenix Creative, where I’ve had the chance to build bold brands, sleek websites, and visuals that help businesses stand out. Along the way, I’ve been honored to be mentioned in Culture Spot LA Magazine for my work, a reminder that the long nights and endless tweaks are worth it.

How I make the magic happen

strategy

I dive deep to understand your brand, audience, and goals,  building a foundation that guides every creative decision with purpose and clarity.

Aesthetics

Design is where creativity meets emotion. I craft visuals that capture attention, communicate meaning, and create a seamless brand experience across every touchpoint, digital or print.

Collaboration

The best designs are born from teamwork. I see every project as a partnership blending with my creative expertise to produce something bold, timeless, and unique.

Precision

From pixels to print, I obsess over the details. Every layout, typeface, and color choice is thoughtfully refined to deliver polished, professional results that make a brand unforgettable.
