About Me

I’ve had a passion for design for as long as I can remember. Drawing was one of my favorite past-times growing up and I honed my skills in art classes in high school and college. I received my Bachelor of Arts from Iowa State University with a double major in Art & Design and Journalism/Mass Communications (Advertising emphasis).

Upon graduation, I dove into desktop publishing as the Composition Manager of the Story County Advertiser in Ames, Iowa.

After two and a half years, I followed my wife, Tammera, to Carroll, Iowa and eventually was hired as the Production Manager of the Daily Times Herald. There, I won the Iowa Newspaper Association’s Designer of the Year (Small Class Daily Newspapers) three years in a row.

I started J.Design Creative Services LLC in January, 2005 and made it my focus when I left the newspaper later in September, 2005.

Web design has became part of my design arsenal with several websites created and more in the works. If you need to build or re-design a website, I can help.

I would like to use my skills to assist you with all of your design needs.
