About
The world is made better when we are free to pursue our passions.
Jake Cooper
Founder & Creative Director
I believe the world is a better place when we have the freedom to deeply pursue our passions.
My focus with this business is to provide my clients with more effective, resonant, and lasting design tools so they have that freedom to pursue their passion. Whether that means financial freedom or more free time to spend, I use my design skills not solely to create a more beautiful world, but one that benefits from the outputs of people free to pursue their passions deeply.
I intentionally built JCD to be a company of one. I believe fewer dependencies and direct communication allows me to be more attentive and adaptive to client needs, developing into long-term meaningful partnerships. When necessary, I enlist additional expertise from my professional network in order to deliver the best results.
In 2012 I began working both in-house and freelance on brand-focused graphic design and web development projects and haven't stopped. I’ve had the pleasure of working with Forbes 100 companies like Time Warner Inc. (now Warner Discovery), HBO, and Turner; non-profit organizations like The Smithsonian; and individual creative entrepreneurs alike.
In 2012 I graduated from the Rhode Island School of Design (RISD) with a BFA in Graphic Design before moving to New York City to start my career. Before then I grew up in suburban Trumbull, CT and now am enjoying a break from the NYC hustle 3 hours north in Saratoga Springs, NY.
