I’m Jake Nolan, an Art Director and Product Designer with 10 years experience helping companies of all sizes and different industries create digital products. Whether as an individual contributor or a team lead, I bring varied but tested hands-on know how to create things that’re easy to understand, easy to use, and easy to look at.
Outside of work, catch me tinkering with a growing plant hoard, falling into the rabbit hole of a side project, or searching for ways to give back to my community.
Would you like to work with me? I’m always open to chat about full-time or contract opportunities.
