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.
