• fast, fearless collaborator

Designer with a wealth of experience delivering more value with less drama. I design, direct, plan and execute in a multitude of mediums and disciplines for independent and Fortune 500 Companies. As both a contract designer and senior designer at leading firms, I provide thorough design strategy for a variety of clients such as Datacard, 3M, and Target. Brand development, identity, packaging, and communication collateral are my strengths. Additionally, I have a track record of building internal relationships with key clients to grow business and capabilities. I have a passion for thoughtful strategy and precise execution. I'm known for innovative, versatile solutions — answering client needs with a clean, fresh and functional sensibility.

”Jerry has been an integral force in the successful crafting of our branding at Mount Tremper Arts. Throughout ten years of collaboration, Jerry has with grace and elegance consistently translated our programming into coherent and exciting graphic design that captures the spirit of our organization.”

“Fun, creative, fast and accurate. This Marketer's dream Designer. Besides being very easy to work with, Jerry's world-class design solutions have set a bar so high that our client book has grown directly as the result of his work. Having recently engaged Jerry's services for an extremely complex graphic design solution for a very difficult client, the Intel Corporation, my goal was just to finish the gig and move on. Jerry turned it all around with groundbreaking on-brand creative that not only grew the account, but the increased business came with the condition from the client that we have to use Jerry for all further engagements. After hiring Jerry on over 50 gigs, I've never had a client that wasn't overjoyed at the end-result.”
