Based in Portland, Oregon (with his undeniably cool dog, Sweetheart), Jacob O. is a multidisciplinary designer and creative leader with over two decades of hands-on experience across print, digital, and experiential design. Rooted in a DIY ethos shaped by pop-punk, screenprinting, and zines, Jacob began designing at age 12 — and hasn’t stopped since.

From launching fan websites in the early Internet era to shaping brand systems and producing impactful campaigns for nonprofits, Jacob brings a rare mix of vision, precision, and purpose. His work balances strategy and heart, blending fine art influences with digital innovation.

Jacob specializes in helping mission-driven organizations, startups, and culture-forward brands translate their values into compelling visuals. Whether it’s a full visual identity, a responsive web experience, dynamic motion graphics, or a print-ready event campaign, Jacob creates design that resonates — and moves people to act.

He’s led cross-functional creative teams, audited and rebuilt digital ecosystems for accessibility, and has designed everything from custom awards to wayfinding systems to data-rich impact reports. No matter the format, Jacob brings clarity, creativity, and collaboration to the table.
