My name is Jake Kenobi (yes, like Star Wars).

I’m an illustrator with a designer’s brain and an art director’s vision. I make eye-catching work with personality, a point of view, and a little grit, plus I can take it from first sketch to finished packaging, apparel, or campaign.

For 12+ years I’ve translated brand identity into visual systems for craft beverage, action sports, and cause-driven brands. That Senior Designer and Art Director experience means I can strategize, consult, present to clients, and own the decisions. And yes, I still make the work myself.

Got a project that a project in mind?
