ABOUT ME

Hi There! 

My name is Jacob (he/him) and I am a Junior Graphic Designer based in North York, Toronto, Ontario. In the spring of 2025 completed my Honours Bachelor's of Design with distinction at OCAD University in Toronto, Ontario with a speciality in editorial and publication design. 

I am interested in all things graphic design and typography with an endless love for physical media and a growing love for textile design! I see myself as a design thinker over anything else, constantly and critically observing our current designed world to better understand how to navigate and improve our communication. 

As a bi-racial individual, my practice seeks to blend not only both my cultural background being Japanese and Scottish but also my personal interests and tastes. Design is a language I am constantly looking to improve and want to push myself to become a more dynamic and efficient communicator.
